Erbach

Erbach is best known in Hesse for Schloss Erbach and the German Ivory Museum housed within it. Set on the Mümling River in the Odenwald, the town is surrounded by the wooded uplands of one of southern Germany’s traditional low-mountain regions. The castle’s collections reflect the long local association with ivory carving, a craft that gave Erbach an identity well beyond its size. Timber-framed houses, narrow streets and the market square preserve the scale of an old Odenwald county town, while the castle remains its defining landmark.
