Old Town Hall from 1665

The settlement “Lichtenowe” was first mentioned in 1289

Originally, six settlements lay within the present-day town limits of Lichtenau. Between 1283 and 1289, at the instigation of the first Hessian Landgrave, Henry I, a fortified square was built at the intersection of the old trade routes "Leipziger Straße" and "Sälzerstraße." This fortified square was intended not only to protect these roads but also to secure access to the state capital, Kassel, and relieve pressure on the border fortress of Reichenbach. The planned settlement of "Lichtenowe" was first documented as a "new town" on March 25, 1289. From the outset, it possessed town rights and its own jurisdiction. After the town's founding, the six surrounding settlements were abandoned by their inhabitants and became deserted; only the field names survived. Lichtenau was secured by a circular wall with a ditch and rampart. With the relocation of the official seat from Reichenbach Castle to the town, Lichtenau became the main town of the Hessian office now called “Amt Lichtenau” in 1490.

The beautiful town hall is in He-Li and not in Eschwege.
