The old cannon on the rampart of the Ziegenhain water fortress points to the city's importance as a fortress.

Today's castle church was built instead of the old Gothic church of St. Catherine. The festive hall has a classicist character. Interesting is the history of confirmation, which was "born" in Ziegenhain. However, for this, meetings were held in the castle.

I would prefer the old railway line to such a stupid cycle path, which should actually run alongside the track and not on the track.

The beautiful town hall in Fritzlar has been in use for over 900 years. An incredible thought! 👍

Perfect for a short walk. If you want to swim with your dog, head to the dog-friendly beach. There are also smaller, more private coves there. It's best to arrive on the Gombeth side.

When Landgrave Philipp convened the important meeting in 1539 in the water fortress of Ziegenhain that led to the introduction of confirmation, a predecessor church to today's Castle Church still stood on Paradeplatz. The Strasbourg theologian Martin Bucer was to find a compromise in the dispute with the Anabaptists. Bucer's Church Discipline ultimately stipulated that children should be baptized, instructed in the faith, examined, and subsequently reaffirmed. Thus, with the Ziegenhain Church Discipline of 1539, confirmation was introduced here, a practice that continues worldwide today! The present Castle Church was built between 1665 and 1667 on the site of a Gothic church as a Protestant church for preaching. During the Thirty Years' War, the old church had become dilapidated and too small for Ziegenhain's population. After the old church was demolished, the new garrison and town church was built between 1665 and 1667. It is a hall church with a Baroque portal and no distinctive bell tower. It served as a garrison church, a civic church, and a burial church for the governors and commanders of Ziegenhain Fortress. The first religious act performed during the church's consecration was the baptism of a soldier's child. The Landgravine, who was present at the consecration, assumed the godparenthood. In honor of the Landgrave and Landgravine, the coats of arms of the House of Hessian Landgraves and the House of Brunswick-Brandenburg are located above the pulpit in the church.
