Gelnhausen Old Town and Imperial Palace

Gelnhausen has a beautiful imperial palace, two large churches, many old half-timbered houses, defense towers (witch tower) and two marketplaces.
Two large markets, the Barbarossamarkt in March and the Schelmenmarkt in October. Which are visited nationwide. Furthermore, a city law ceremony is held every few years.
In December, a large Christmas market with historical tours. The tours also take place at Easter and on other days.
Gelnhausen is therefore worth a visit at any time of the year.

Gelnhausen was founded by Emperor Friedrich I, better known as Barbarossa. The city on the Kinzig impresses with many historical buildings, including some half-timbered houses, and is always worth a stop, for example on a tour along the Hessian long-distance cycle route R3.

A city with a lot of history and many small alleys
