Wir waren mit unserem kirchen- und glockenbegeistertem Kind in der Glockenwelt auf Burg #Greifenstein. Große Empfehlung! Hier können Glocken aller Art angeschlagen werden. (Wer nicht darauf bedacht ist, einem kleinen Liebling hinterher zu laufen, erfährt an den Schautafeln viel Wissenswertes rund um das Thema Glocken. Ich konnte leider keine Einzige lesen 😅)
Eine Burgkirche gibt es auch, und unter ihr noch eine Kirche. Sehr, sehr spannend!
Übernachtet haben wir in #Herborn und sind absolut schockverliebt in diese kleine Stadt. Ein rundum gelungenes Wochenende!

A picturesque view of the Marktbrunnen in Herborn, Hessen, Germany, nestled in the heart of the Altstadt (Old Town). The image showcases a charming cobblestone square known historically as the Buttermarkt, once a bustling hub for trading dairy products and baked goods. Dominating the center is the ornate Marktbrunnen fountain, featuring a statue atop a circular stone basin, surrounded by café tables and umbrellas that invite leisurely gatherings. Encircling the square are beautifully preserved half-timbered buildings, their intricate red-and-white wooden frameworks and steep dark roofs reflecting the architectural elegance of the 16th and 17th centuries. These Bürger- and Kaufmannshäuser (citizen and merchant houses) stand close together, creating an intimate urban fabric typical of medieval German towns. The facades are adorned with decorative carvings and family crests, hinting at Herborn’s prosperous past as a trade and university town. In the background, the historic Rathaus (town hall) with its clock tower adds to the grandeur, while the partly cloudy sky casts a soft light that enhances the timeless atmosphere of this well-preserved Altstadt gem.

Today, mum and I went to Herborn, Hessen, Germany, for a short stroll around the Altstadt there.

AI Alt Text (Elaborate Description with Historical Context):

A richly detailed image of the Standesamt (civil registry office) in Herborn, Hessen, Germany, showcasing a striking example of traditional German architecture. The building features a multi-story stone façade adorned with vibrant red window trim and decorative painted panels between the upper windows, each depicting historical or allegorical figures. Ornate flower boxes filled with red blooms line the lower windows and the arched entrance, which is framed by intricate stonework and flanked by two lanterns. A wooden door sits beneath a sculpted archway, hinting at the building’s civic importance. Above, a clock and weather vane crown the roof, reinforcing its role as a public institution. The cobblestone street and surrounding half-timbered buildings evoke the charm of Herborn’s medieval town center, while a leafy tree partially obscures the left side of the frame.

🏛️ Historical Note:
Herborn was first mentioned in 1048 and gained city rights in 1251 under the Counts of Nassau. The town flourished as a center of Reformed theology after the founding of the Herborn Academy in 1584 by John VI of Nassau-Dillenburg, brother of William the Silent. The Standesamt building, likely dating back several centuries, reflects Herborn’s architectural heritage and civic pride. Its location in the heart of the old town places it among other historic structures that line the German Timber-Frame Road, a route celebrating the country’s most picturesque medieval towns.
