Michelstadt, Medieval town in Odenwald, Germany
The historic center of Michelstadt contains numerous timber-framed buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and a Gothic town hall built in 1484.
First documented in 741 AD, Michelstadt developed from a Frankish baronial estate into a royal property before being given to the Bishop of Würzburg.
The annual Bienenmarkt festival brings together local artisans, performers, and food vendors, continuing a tradition that celebrates the region's agricultural heritage.
The town's central location between Darmstadt and Heidelberg, connected by regional trains and federal highways B45 and B47, makes it accessible for day trips.
Einhard's Basilica stands as one of Germany's few remaining intact Carolingian structures, built by Charlemagne's personal chronicler in the 9th century.
