Half-timbered houses & St. Kilian Church, Korbach, Hesse, Germany.
Korbach developed from a royal court of Charles the Great, which was mentioned for the first time in a document of the Emperor Otto II in the year 980. Situated at the intersection of former trade roads, it was granted the town status of Soest , a town in Westphalia, as early as 1188. The old and new parts of the town were unified in 1377 and a common town hall and a circular double town wall were erected. The town became a member of the Hanseatic League, consequently Korbach was then the most important town in the shire of Waldeck and had many privileges. The former old Hanseatic town is enjoying ever-increasing popularity and is an appealing place for shopping, recreation and relaxation.
