Schlitz, Medieval castle complex in Vogelsbergkreis, Germany.
The town features five preserved castle towers rising above clusters of traditional half-timbered houses along narrow stone-paved streets in eastern Hesse.
The Lords of Schlitz established their power through Fulda Abbey in 812, gaining status as Imperial Barons in 1677 and Imperial Counts in 1726.
The Schlitzerländer Trachtenfest brings together regional costumes and traditions every second weekend of July in odd-numbered years.
The town connects to major German cities through the A7 motorway, with Frankfurt at 111 kilometers and Berlin at 380 kilometers distance.
The Fluß-Station Schlitz conducts ecological research on the Breitenbach stream through the Max Planck Institute for Limnology since 1951.
