Amöneburg city wall with historic old town

The sight of this massive wall shows how much hard work must have been required to build this bulwark by hand

The ring wall of the city fortifications runs around Amöneburg and the Amöneburg ruins at a height of 365 meters with a few restored towers, such as the Schwedenturm in the west, the Hainerturm in the east, the Unteren Brücker Tor in the south, only preserved as a base (the Obere Brücker Tor on the Unfortunately, the city wall is no longer preserved) and the embrasure towers of the Amöneburg castle ruins.
Amöneburg Castle was built in 1145 as a hilltop castle on the larger hill (former volcano) at 365 meters by the Archdiocese of Mainz and Burgrave Poppo von Reichenbach and Hollende from basalt and sandstone.
After destruction, reconstruction and pledging, the castle once again belonged to the Mainzer Burgmannen. The castle was destroyed, recaptured and rebuilt by the Swedes in the Thirty Years' War and in the Seven Years' War. During the Coalition War it was destroyed except for the curtain wall and towers.
The city center consists of a square market square with a cast-iron fountain with Saint St. Martin on top, who shares his cloak with a poor man, and a warrior monument with a lion on top, the historic town hall, the local history museum and wonderful half-timbered houses, which are under monument protection.
