Amöneburg, Medieval castle town in Marburg-Biedenkopf, Germany.
The town of Amöneburg stands at 365 meters elevation on a basalt cone mountain, overlooking the surrounding Hesse countryside and Ohm River.
The strategic fortress of Burg Amöneburg, constructed in the 12th century, served as a defensive structure until its destruction during the Seven Years War.
The Museum Amöneburg presents exhibitions about the prehistoric settlements, agricultural practices, and archaeological discoveries from the Amöneburg Basin region.
The town maintains partnerships with municipalities in France, Austria, and Italy, fostering international exchanges and cultural programs throughout the year.
Scientists discovered tectites and shattercones in the Amöneburg Basin, indicating the potential presence of Germany's third largest meteorite impact crater.
