The bronze figures on the historic parade ground in the confirmation town. They represent, among others, Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous, who holds the historically significant church order in his hand. With it, he made confirmation compulsory for his county. The attentive observer asks the question: How does a Landgrave come to issue church laws? The answer can be found in the year 1526. This date is the birth year of the "State Church Regiment" in Hesse. At a synod in Homberg, the Landgraviate of Hesse became Protestant at the instigation of the Landgrave.
