The first written mention can be found in a document of Emperor Otto II, who leaves in it the royal court and the settlement of his wife Theophanu as an heir. Their daughter Sophie founded in 1000 on the Cyriakusberg the woman's pen Eschwege, which was consecrated the holy Cyriakus and up to the introduction of the reformation in Hessen in the year 1527 existed (only today still remaining remainder of the pin is the Karlsturm). The market rights to the place was around 1188, and the city rights followed before the year 1249th From this period also originate the flourishing of the cloth and leather production to the modern times (Wikipedia)

Very nice pictures were taken, where it is clear that a visit to Eschwege is worthwhile. There are many more beautiful lanes and historic buildings to see, if time permits. In and around Eschwege there are plenty of cheap and good accommodations.

In the historic ambience of a former tobacco warehouse, in the immediate vicinity of the beautiful Sophien garden, you will find the Eschweg town museum. Are you interested in the archeology and natural history of the region or for old crafts, such as tannery, cloth making and linen weaving? You can see, for example, also the only surviving uniform of a Lützower hunter, historical children's toys and "Hessens largest shoe" in addition to exhibits on the history of religion and the Jewish community in Eschwege. Of course, there is a corner to the traditional Eschweger home festival, the "Johannisfest". Another special feature is the photo studio Tellgmann, one of the oldest in Germany, with its unique cameras and photos. Ask for the special offers for children, school classes and families.
