Bromsberg

The Bromsberg is the southwest foothills of the Glasebach mountain ( 505.8  m above sea  level ) in the East Hessian highlands and belongs to the area of ​​the small town of Spangenberg in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district . On its southern high altitude lies at 427.2  m above sea level. NN is a trigonometric point .

Geographical location

The Bromsberg rises directly east-north-east of the Spangenberg core town and north of the Pfieffe valley , which flows westward through Spangenberg and is fed there by the Essebach . Above this confluence is the nearby Bromsberg Castle Hill with the Spangenberg Castle .

Cenotaph and tree church

After the First World War, a memorial was erected on the Bromsberg plateau to commemorate the fallen and missing Spangenbergers. The memorial goes back to the plans of the Spangenberg architect and later mayor Theobald Fenner . 52 linden trees with their trunks and crowns form the floor plan of a church. An iron cross protrudes from the choir and is visible from afar.

In 2009 the partially rotten linden trees were renewed. The tree church was cleared of rubbish and restored to its original shape by cutting back wildly sown bushes and weeds. The tree church was renewed on an initiative of the Spangenberg citizen, Ulrich Salzmann.
