Bibra Castle

Highlight • Castle

In the small village of Bibra in the municipality of Grabfeld are the remains of the small moated castle built by the lords of Bibra in the 12th century and mentioned in 1119 with "Rubertus de Bybera" in the middle of the district in the north-east. The crew at that time controlled and supported a north-south connection to the Werratal in the direction of Untermassfeld and Meiningen. It has a thousand-year history and was laid out in the Franconian style of a Franconian royal court in 1486. It was destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525 and in the Thirty Years' War and was repeatedly rebuilt for practical purposes.

Church of Rentwertshausen

Highlight • Religious Site

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Mary Margaret is located in the Rentwertshausen district of the Grabfeld municipality in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district of Thuringia. It belongs to the Bibra parish in the Meiningen church district of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany.
There is no date of construction for this strikingly small village church, with its half-timbered upper story in the church tower. Nothing is known about a previous building. However, the year 1604 in the pulpit inscription is linked to the construction period. The organ was purchased around 1800, and the baptismal font, dating from 1844, is neo-Gothic.


In 1983, the church received modern wooden decorations, including an altar cross, antependium, ambo, and pulpit, by the Greiz artist Elly-Viola Nahmmacher.

Long and beautiful carillon. A game for connoisseurs: who recognizes the melody? 😅

Market Square, Bad Königshofen

Highlight • Settlement

The focal point of Bad Königshofen is the large market square with its three ornamental fountains: the Luitpold Fountain under the linden tree, the Röhrenbrunnen (Tube Fountain), and the Michaelsbrunnen (Michael Fountain), above which the wrought-iron angel "floats." The Vierröhrenbrunnen (Four-Tube Fountain) in front of the Schlundhaus (Thrush House) was fed by a water pipe even before the Thirty Years' War, making it an important part of the town. Also located on the market square is the medieval Kornstein (cornstone) from 1525, which formerly served as a grain measuring device.
