Butzbach

by Weissdorn - last update: May 15, 2004

Town Square in Butzbach
Butzbach is generally known for two kinds of forts. For the Germans, particularly the Hessians, the think of the high security prison that exists here for serious criminals. For foreigners, particularly Americans, they remember the military post that was here. But these were not the only fortresses that Butzbach once had.

 Hi Celeste, we did a half-day-trip to Butzbach this weekend and it was really nice. I only had it "on the radar" because I stumbled over your excellent Butzbach page. Thanks!

 Very interesting historical information and fine photos! I didn't know (or had forgotten) that Lotte Buff's family lived in Butzbach, since Goethe's novel takes place in Wetzlar. (I recently saw Massenet's fine Werther opera again in Frankfurt.)
