A Lovely City at the Outskirts of Frankfurt/Main | The Bad Homburg SIlhoutte |
This lovely City is approx. 1000 years old according to the frist documents that were found.
Obviously the castle is still one of the evidences. In the vicinity of the castle excavations revelead settlements dating back to 11th and 12th century. Lots of ceramics were found.
The development as a "Spa"-City took place only in the 19th century and the a casino was opened already. Even the Tzars of Russia came to frequent the city for the spa.
Personally I like the city as a concention place for our corporate affairs. It is very easily accessible and also close to Frankfurt/Main airport. The hotels are in abundance and all with excellent service. |
