If the "Hupe" is meant here, it is unfortunately no longer open.

The neo-Romanesque building was built in 1912 on the former city wall in front of the former Napoleon Gate. During Prussian times, a "Second Class Postal Expedition" existed in Freyburg by the 1830s at the latest. During the German Empire, this was converted into an Imperial Post Office and, in 1890, a new building was constructed east of the old town on Jahnplatz. Just 22 years later, the post office was relocated to Wasserstraße. With the privatization of the German Federal Post Office, to which the post office had belonged since reunification, the post offices were converted into postal agencies, and the old buildings were often abandoned. This was also the case in Freyburg, where a dentist's office and a photography studio now occupy the former post office.

The construction of this late Romanesque church, also known as the "sister of Naumburg Cathedral," dates back to the period between 1210 and 1230. It was probably commissioned by the Thuringian Landgrave Ludwig IV (reigned from 1217 to 1227). The church's core is Romanesque. At the beginning of the 15th century, the apse was demolished and replaced by a Gothic choir. The southern side apse was sacrificed to an added sacristy. At the end of the 15th century, the nave was demolished and replaced by a hall nave.

The Memorial Gymnastics Hall is dedicated to the memory of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778 to 1852). In the early 1890s, the idea arose to erect a representative memorial with an adjoining gymnasium over Jahn's grave, which contains his bronze bust, which Johannes Schilling had created in 1858. Construction began in late summer 1893 according to plans by Leipzig architect Georg Weidenbach, and the inauguration took place on June 10, 1894, in the presence of 3,000 gymnasts from all over Germany. The Jahn Museum was initially located in the space behind the Schilling bust, but due to lack of space, it was relocated to the adjacent new Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Hall of Honor in 1903. In 1936, Jahn's remains were reburied from the Memorial Gymnastics Hall in the crypt on the grounds of the Jahn House. To this day, the memorial gymnasium is used by Freyburg's schools and clubs. In 1994, the gymnasium was renovated and completed with the addition of an underground sanitary wing.

The Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Hall of Honor, originally built as a museum for the father of gymnastics, now serves as a venue for festive events and academic conferences. It is also the venue for the general meetings of the Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Society. In 1894, the Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Hall of Honor, which also included a museum room, was opened in the immediate vicinity. This soon proved too small. At the initiative of Ferdinand Goetz, a Leipzig physician and chairman of the German Gymnastics Association, Leipzig architects Georg Weidenbach and Richard Tschammer presented plans for a museum building in 1899. The German Gymnastics Association raised funds for the construction among its members. The museum building was inaugurated in 1903. On the occasion of the 1936 Olympic Games, the Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Museum was established in Jahn's former home, and the previous museum building was renamed the Hall of Honor.

Absolutely something for wine lovers and nature and hiking enthusiasts

It seems that a tradition has taken hold here. The fun of building stone pyramids continues.

Wonderful view of the Unstrut valley.
