Lich, Medieval town in Gießen district, Germany.
Located between Taunus and Vogelsberg mountain ranges, Lich spans 77 square kilometers with numerous timber-framed buildings in its center.
The first mention of Lich appears in the Lorsch Codex from 790, and the town received market rights from Emperor Albert I in 1300.
The Marienstiftskirche, built in 1316, contains a Renaissance crucifix from 1500 and displays religious artworks within its Gothic architecture.
Three elementary schools, a comprehensive school, and the Asklepios Klinik medical facility serve the educational and healthcare needs of 13,000 residents.
The Licher Brewery, operating for over 150 years, offers guided tours twice weekly and remains central to the town's industrial heritage.
