December 13, 2025, Katholische Kirche Maria Himmelfahrt Hachenburg

At first glance, the church's Baroque interior appears rather somber, especially when compared to the bright, cheerful atmosphere of, for example, Bavarian Baroque churches. However, the richly detailed stained-glass windows are truly magnificent and colorful. The altarpiece depicting the Assumption of Mary is a copy of the painting by the Italian artist Reni; the original is housed in the Pinakothek in Munich.

Towards the end, the red Lion Trail leads you south and above Hachenburg, from where you have a sweeping view of the Westerwald. Hachenburg Castle sits enthroned in the middle. It's a magnificent view.

From Birkenweg, at the level of Hachenburg Hospital, you have a beautiful view of Hachenburg Castle, towering above the old town.

This beautiful retrospective illustrates the architecturally outstanding layout of the castle and the old town nestled on a prominent hill above the valley of the Great Nister and therefore certainly has been an important spot that has been "taken over" since ancient times.
