Michelstadt

Michelstadt straddles the Mümling River in Hesse’s Odenwald, where the narrow valley has concentrated the town beneath densely wooded hills. Its old centre is defined by timber-framed houses and the late-medieval Rathaus, built in 1484; the building’s ground floor was designed as an open market hall. Just outside the centre, the Einhardsbasilika in Steinbach is an important Carolingian church associated with Einhard, Charlemagne’s biographer. Michelstadt also lies on the German Timber-Frame Road, which traces regional building traditions across the country.
