Blue Bridge over the Ulster River

Highlight • Bridge

Shortly before Wenigentaft, coming from Buttlar, the Ulstertal cycle path uses a large, blue railway bridge to cross the Ulster. Shortly behind there is a plot of land with a large mill wheel - it looks like electricity is generated here from hydropower.

Tann Protestant Town Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Regent Eberhard von der Tann, a friend of Martin Luther, introduced the Reformation in Tann in the 1530s. As a result, a new Protestant town church was built in 1569. On May 12th, 1879, this small church, which had now been converted to baroque style, fell victim to the great city fire, so that a new building was necessary. From 1886 to 1889, today's town church was built in the neo-Gothic style on the same site. The architect was the master builder Carl Weise from Eisenach.
The church is a cross-shaped, three-aisled complex with galleries and an impressive chancel. It offers space for 1200 people and is often used as a concert space because of its excellent acoustics.
A masterpiece of Rhön carving is the life-size crucifix in the chancel, which comes from the workshop of the Tanner wood sculptor Kieser. The artfully designed Gothic windows are also impressive.
At 72 meters, the tower of the Tanner town church is seven meters higher than the Fulda Cathedral and has now become a landmark of the Ulstertal.
