Staden – Little Venice of the Wetterau

Highlight • Settlement

The absolute highlight was the small town of Staden, which is very impressive with two castles and an intact historic town center with moats. The place holds every comparison with the small romantic wine towns in the Main triangle. For the Spessart lover, the admissible comparison with the romantic castle of Mespelbrunn should be tried.

Bridge of Sighs Staden

Highlight • Bridge

The half-timbered bridge is popularly known as the "Bridge of Sighs". There is a small polygonal pavilion in the middle.
It was probably built in 1684 on wooden posts across the Mühlbach and leads from the half-timbered house to the south, which served as a courthouse for some time, to a small garden between the Mühlbach and the remains of a city tower, the so-called dungeon.
On the east rear wall of the house there is another city tower, the so-called toggle tower. There are two explanations for the name "Bridge of Sighs". One assumes that the bridge over which it was built was once a stately summer house, the second means that the convicts crossed this bridge with a sigh - on their way to the dungeon. Southwest outside of the The location of Staden was the location of the gallows (more on this on information board 36). Because of its many bridges, Staden is also called "Little Venice" of the Wetterau.
Since May 2011, the bridge has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site worth protecting.

Old Nidda Weir Near Staden

Highlight • Monument

The weir system in the Nidda near Florstadt - Staden (river kilometer 52) was the only transverse structure on a flow section length of approx. 53 between the "Eschersheimer weir" in Frankfurt (river kilometer 12) and the "An der Krötenburg" weir system in Nidda (river kilometer 65) km. The fall height of over 1.50 m made the weir system an impossible obstacle for smaller aquatic animals and organisms. Larger fish were only able to overcome the existing stone bed of the Tosbeck basin and the then smaller difference in level in the fall height in order to change from the underwater of the weir to the upper water only in the event of large flood events.
