Fritzlar, Germany - 8th March 2012

By: Dr.Kröbner

Hello Mum and Dad,

a trip to Fritzlar with hostmum and Hoppsi

Fritzlar is a small German town (pop. 15,000) in the Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse, 160 km (99 mi) north of Frankfurt, with a storied history. It can reasonably be argued that the town is the site where the Christianization of northern Germany (north and east of the Roman Limes) began and the birthplace of the German empire as a political entity

here you see the old church...very old

The St. Peter's Cathedral is one of the most beautiful Romanesque-Gothic churches in Hesse.

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).

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, ..but not in the moment :rolleyes:

look Mum a nice view in the Edertal...

This is the Monk Boniface he felled the oak, without being met, the expected wrath of the locals Donars and built from the wood a church that was dedicated to St. Peter. This event is considered the beginning of Christianity, not only in this area of the present diocese of Fulda.

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

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

Even the rest of town around the market in Fritzlar is determined by imposing half-timbered buildings
