history
With the approval of March 23, 1778 by the Hessian Landgrave Friedrich II of Hessen-Kassel , the small colonies Philippinenburg and Philippinenthal as well as Philippinendorf (now part of Gasterfeld ) were created as part of his settlement policy by settlers from the Darmstadt area . They were named after Friedrich II's wife Philippine von Brandenburg-Schwedt .
Philippines castle was built in the area of the 14th century fallen desolate place Hildegersen and in the country of deserted Höllehof. Philippinenthal arose in the area of the deserted places Odelsen and Elriksen .
Events and sports
In addition to various festivities, the “Almabtrieb” from the higher-lying meadows in the Habichtswald Nature Park to the village is considered a highlight in Wolfhager Land at the beginning of October.
The Philippinenburg / -thal tug-of-war group founded in 1982 has achieved numerous successes in national and international competitions over the years.
