Wolfhagen
Fantastic things:
Wolfhagen, with its over 14,000 inhabitants in 12 different districts, invites you to go on a tour of discovery of its 775-year-old city centre with many historical, beautifully restored and preserved half-timbered houses, town squares and narrow winding alleys.
You can visit the Gothic hall church of St. Anna, the city museum with its permanent exhibition on the most famous citizens of Wolfhagen, including the 16th century adventurer to Brazil, Hans Staden; another enjoyable outing is to the moated castle of Elmarshausen with its Trakehner stud farm, the Weidelsburg fortress near Ippinghausen and much, much more. Take a historical city tour to get the most out of Wolfhagen.
Enchanting places:
Wolfhagen offers its inhabitants and guests an especially enchanting atmosphere provided by the Grimm's fairy tale "The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids".
On the historical market square is the Fairytale Well with a life-sized bronze wolf, its stomach full of stones, the seventh kid standing at the edge of the well.
Storytelling sessions of beloved fairy tales, small-scale performing arts, and even civil wedding ceremonies take place in the enchanting atmosphere of the "Grimm's Fairytale Cellar" in the Old Town Hall, where replicates of paintings by Ludwig Emil Grimm are exhibited and there is an impressively large wooden carving of an opened book of fairy tales.
