Fritzlar, Germany - 7th February 2012

By: Dr.Kröbner

Mommy,

I spend the last weekend in Fritzlar, a little nice town in Hesse...

In the background you can see the cathedral and in the half-

timbered house hostmum Andrea grew up....

I want to tell you something about the Cathedral

The Cathedral of Fritzlar measures 43 meters (from the basement to the top). He continues to shape the cityscape of the small town in the Schwalm-Eder-Kreis (formerly Circle Fritzlar-Homberg). The three-aisled basilica in Fritzlar is considered one of the most beautiful in Germany.
Built and rebuilt several times, combines the Cathedral of St. Peter Roman and Gothic styles. In the oldest part of the Fritzlarer Domes are the crypts, which can also be viewed as the Cathedral, which, amongst other things, "Henry Cross" and some of the oldest monstrances the German-speaking.
We could not go inside  :(

It was so cold, but we took a walk  :rolleyes:

The " Grey Tower",

The 37 meter high tower was mentioned in 1274 for the first time

and is the highest municipal watchtower still standing in Germany.

The Town Hall in Fritzlar originated in Roman times (also called "bailiwick") and was first mentioned in documents in 1109

It is decorated with a stone relief from the 1441 Holy St. Martin, the patron saint of Fritzlar.
