Medieval Fair and Market at the Ronneburg
Hi Mommy,
today, Anja went to visit friends for a long weekend (1st of May weekend). The friends live in Gelnhausen, approx. 40 km east of Frankfurt. Anja and her friends visited a medieval fair and market at the Ronneburg, and they took us TVs along.

Ronneburg History
Although built about 1230, the castle’s towers, battlements and walls are still intact. Situated on a hilltop, the tall tower makes a landmark seen for miles. The castle is associated with Count Zinzendorf in 1736, founder of the Moravian brotherhood, which later established religious colonies in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. |
The weather was beautiful, the rapeseed was blossoming everywhere, and soon we saw the castle Ronneburg
Anja and her friends scared us poor TVs, threatening to lock us in the stocks 
, but then they took us along after all.
There were a lot of booths selling nice things
and of course there was a campfire and food and drink
A lot of people were dressed up in medieval clothes. Some of them looked scary at first, but they were all quite nice! 
We wandered around, enjoying the view and the fair and the shows, and of course the ladies did some shopping 
I wanted a beautiful dress, too, like many ladies were wearing, but Anja said it would not fit me
After the last show, we went home, but Anja said we would return the next day.
Wow, we were all excited! Because with all the shopping and browsing and enjoying the shows, we had not even been INSIDE the castle yet!
Hugs
Wusch
