Laubach, Historic castle town in Gießen district, Germany.
Laubach is a town in the Gießen region made up of several villages spread across fields and woodlands. The castle with its towers and fortified walls sits at the center, surrounded by a park with a lake and open green spaces.
The castle was founded in the thirteenth century and remained the seat of the Solms-Laubach family across generations. Over the centuries, the location grew from a fortified stronghold into a larger settlement.
The castle dominates the town's character and draws both residents and visitors who walk the grounds or rest in the open spaces. The green areas around the building invite people to spend time outdoors and experience the pace of daily life here.
The castle grounds and park are open year-round and welcome visitors to walk about freely. The lake and green spaces offer quiet places to sit, and the pathways are easy to explore on foot.
A local justice inspector named Friedrich Kellner kept a detailed diary during World War II with personal observations from daily life. His writings offer visitors today a direct window into that era and show how ordinary people experienced those years.
