Gelnhausen was founded in 1170 by the Hohenstaufen Emperor Frederick I, called Barbarossa. The Romanesque house on the Untermarkt dates back to this period, but the construction of the above-mentioned St. Mary's Church also began at the end of the 12th century.
If you have made the considerable climb to the submarket, invite numerous cafes, restaurants and pubs for a small or large break.

nice market place which unfortunately gives too much space for cars.
The half-timbered houses deserve a nicer ambience than just parked cars.

Gelnhausen, with its small alleys, is always worth a visit.

We, who live nearby and for whom Gelnhausen is something of a center, often forget how nice it is here. Gelnhausen is always worth a trip, and the city guides have always been praised.
