Historical city walk

You start your tour at the Weser Renaissance town hall in Hann Münden. The predecessor of the town hall was built around 1200. From 1603 - 1618 the town hall was rebuilt and got its distinctive decorative facade. The carillon with figures of Doctor Eisenbart can be heard and seen three times a day at 12, 15 and 17 o'clock.

Opposite the town hall is St. Blasius Church with a tomb of Duke William the Younger and a baptismal font dating from 1392. The church is open daily during the summer months.

You now continue onto the main pedestrian zone, Lange Straße. After a few metres, you will see the house where Doctor Eisenbart died on the left (Lange Straße 79). He died there on 11 November 1727 in the inn "Zum wilden Mann".

Continue along the street. Take the next left into Aegidienstraße. On the right-hand side, you will see the small St. Aegidien Church, on whose left-hand outer wall you will find the gravestone of Doctor Eisenbart.

At the end of the street, turn left into Burgstraße and after a few metres turn right into Bahnhofstraße. When you reach the "Kronenturm", your path leads you left along the ramparts towards Welfenschloss.

A predecessor of the Guelph castle with its important Renaissance roofs was built in 1501 and rebuilt after a fire in 1560. Today, the Guelph castle houses the city museum, among other things.

To the left of the Guelph castle, follow Sydekumstraße to the historic Werrabrücke bridge. The Werrabrücke was built around 1250 and is one of the oldest surviving stone bridges in northern Germany.

You are back on Lange Straße and walk a little way back to the town hall and from there into Mühlenstraße. Cross the covered bridge. You are now on the island of Tanzwerder. Follow the path to the right until you reach the confluence of the Werra and Fulda rivers, the Weserstein, erected in 1899.
