Mosbach, District capital in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Description
Mosbach is a town where the Neckar and Elz rivers meet in northern Baden-Württemberg, surrounded by forested hills. The old town center contains more than a hundred timber-frame houses from different centuries, arranged along narrow lanes that form a compact historic core.
History
A Benedictine monastery from the early Middle Ages became the starting point of the settlement, which received town rights in the 13th century. Later the place belonged to the Electoral Palatinate and became an administrative seat for the region in the 19th century.
Culture
The Palm House from 1610 and the Salzhaus represent examples of traditional German timber-frame construction in the pedestrian town center.
Practical
The pedestrian zone in the center is easy to explore on foot and passes most of the sights. Parking areas are located at the edge of the old town, from where all important points can be reached in a short time.
Did you know?
The Palm House from 1610 is considered one of the finest timber-frame buildings in the region and shows elaborate carvings on the facade. During World War II, an underground factory for producing aircraft engines was built beneath the town.
