Enthusiastic hobbyist presents detailed-faith Alsfeld town hall model!

The creative head Patrick Kosog has fulfilled a dream in Alsfeld: he has recreated the historic town hall of the city on a scale of 1:40. For over a year he worked on this imposing model based on historical blueprints, and which can now be seen in the foyer of the town hall. Kosog's visit to the original town hall, which he recently discovered, left a lasting impression and moved it to express his passion for craft in an extensive work of art. This special exhibition will be opened for invited guests on Friday, 2 p.m. and remains accessible for a month, Live said Oberhessen.

The old town hall of Alsfeld has a remarkable career behind it. Construction began in 1512 and is a formative example of the preservation of old Hessian architecture. The historical substance has been preserved over the centuries through various renovations, such as the exposure of the bricked -down arcades in 1883 or the general renovation between 1910 and 1911. The impressive connection between stone architecture and timber construction makes the town hall a unmistakable symbol of the city and symbolizes the close connection of its citizens with city history.

The exhibition and other attractions

The visitors to the exhibition have the opportunity not only to admire Kosog's model, but also to acquire various souvenirs that he produced. This includes key rings and lamps in the form of the town hall, as well as postcards with pictures of the model and collages of scenes from inside. Kosog also plans to publish a book that documents the career of his model and contains numerous pictures.

Alsfeld not only offers cultural treasures, but also a wide range of leisure activities. During the exhibition period, guided tours for the exhibition this weekend, both on Saturday at 11 a.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m., are organized. In addition, open old town tours take place, which also lead to the exhibition. The old town with its many monuments from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is a popular destination for city tourists and can be explored impressively during these tours.

The future of Alsfeld

The geographical location of Alsfeld, embedded between the Vogelsberg and the Knüll, makes it an important center with a population of 18,000 inhabitants and 16 districts.
