    The later Federal President Johannes Rau (1931-2006) lived in this simple building when he was ten years old. He is also an honorary citizen of Maroldsweisach.

    This is not Johannes Rau's parents' house.
    According to the Maroldsweisach website: "Johannes Rau, as a 10-year-old, was placed in Maroldsweisach in 1941/42 as part of the evacuation of children to the countryside. The evacuation was ordered at the time due to the threat of bombing of the Ruhr region. Johannes Rau and his older brother Hartmut stayed in Maroldsweisach for almost a year. Both attended school here. Johannes Rau already caught the attention of his teacher and the local pastor because of his active participation in class and his inexhaustible passion for reading in the parish library."
