    Tips

    In the center of Ummerstadt, time seems to have stood still for centuries. In particular, after the Second World War, development stagnated for several decades, which is why the town, which consists almost entirely of half-timbered houses, now has just over 500 inhabitants. This makes it one of the smallest cities in Germany. The reason for this was that the city, which was first mentioned in 837 or 838, is located in the outermost tip of Thuringia and is surrounded on three sides by the state of Bavaria. In GDR times, Ummerstadt was therefore a disturbing spot in the restricted area of the GDR border. Forced resettlement and emigration caused the city to lose almost half of its inhabitants within four decades. The positive aspect, however, was that everything was preserved in its old condition and could therefore be renovated in an exemplary manner after reunification.

      Very well preserved half-timbered houses frame the marketplace with fountain from 1687.

        Picturesque market square. Framed timber frame.
