Korbach

Built around the intersection of medieval trade routes, Korbach grew into northern Hesse’s only Hanseatic town. Its compact centre retains a long stretch of defensive wall and the parish churches of St Kilian and St Nikolai, recalling the old and new towns that developed separately before joining in 1377. Korbach lies in the Waldeck Uplands near the headwaters of the Itter, a tributary of the Diemel; wooded ridges and farmland distinguish it from the larger Rhine-Main cities farther south. At Goldhausen’s Eisenberg, the Besucherbergwerk Goldhausen interprets the area’s gold-mining tradition.
