Even before the seemingly massive rockslide in 1595, rocks had repeatedly fallen off this mountain. The perfect place to live - thought an entrepreneur who originally came from Themar and made a name for himself in Berlin with a horseshoe-shaped leather bag. Wealthy but in poor health, he eventually returned to his homeland. He wanted to build his retirement home here on the Iltenberg (formerly Öltenberg), where he had often been as a child. In 1932 he moved into the villa, of which only old photos exist. Unfortunately, it was demolished during the GDR era. Only a few remnants remain. You can still wander through the former access gate, walk on the cobblestones of the courtyard and visit an old cellar vault. A detailed information board on site tells the full story.

An interesting fact is that the uncle of the famous Johann Sebastian Bach was a cantor here and played the organ in the church for many years. "His" organ no longer exists, but his former home still does. There is a memorial plaque there. The church itself is closed and cannot be visited, although many tourist guides rave about its interior.

In Themar, a large part of the city wall has been preserved, and many houses have been integrated directly into it. The city wall parallel to the Werra is particularly impressive, as it is very high here.
