Fir

Fir is a historic city in the HessianRhön.

background

The tranquil town of Tann an der Ulster was the seat of the Lords of Tann in the Middle Ages, which is still evident today in the well-preserved castle and town fortifications. Since the gentlemen von der Tann were close friends with Martin Luther, Tann is today an evangelical exclave in the otherwise deeply Catholic Rhön. A city fire in 1879 destroyed most of the half-timbered buildings in the medieval old town, but some buildings are still preserved.

After the Second World War, Tann suddenly found itself in an extreme peripheral location, surrounded on three sides by the Iron Curtain, but benefited economically from the Federal German zone border promotion and border tourism. After the reunification, Tann fell into a deep slumber, but still offers a good tourist infrastructure embedded in the untouched nature of the Rhön.

Tann is up to the B278. From the exit Symbol: AS92 Fulda-middle of the A7 drive 30 km to Tann.

  • 1  Tann Castle. The Tann Castle consists of three wings that were built separately from each other: the Red Castle is the oldest part, the Blue Castle adjoins to the south and the Yellow Castle was recently built in the backyard, so that today there is an almost closed complex. The castle is still owned by the Tann family and can therefore not be visited.
