Alsbach-Hahnlein

Alsbach-Hahnlein is best known in Hesse for Alsbach Castle, a medieval hilltop ruin above the Hessian Bergstrasse. The municipality lies where the wooded western slopes of the Odenwald meet the Upper Rhine Plain, south of Darmstadt. Melibokus, the highest summit of the Hessian Bergstrasse, rises nearby and marks the local edge of the low mountain range. Alsbach and Hahnlein became one municipality in 1977, though their separate historic centres still give the place a dual identity. Vineyards, orchards and residential streets occupy the transition between the plain and the forested hills, while the old castle remains its clearest historic reference point.
