    Hiking

    The old town of Hildburghausen is definitely worth a visit and invites you to linger. The calmed area around the market place offers shops and cafes.

    8/9 Century

    The patronymic form of the name Hildburghausen indicates a possible origin of the place in Franconian times.

    1234 First documentary mention as "Hilteburgehusin" in a purchase contract between Count Otto von Botenlauben and the Würzburg monastery.

    At the beginning of the 13th century, the so-called stone house was built on the market square to protect and control the emerging market settlement.

    approx. 1270-1304 The Lords of Wildberg own Hildburghausen as a Würzburg fief.

    1286 First mention of a church in Hildburghausen.

    1314 Beginning of entries in the oldest town book, first mention of a council.
