Steinau an der Strasse.
Im Osten Hessens liegt Steinau an der Strasse. Genau genommen müsste es "an den Strassen heißen, denn die Stadt liegt an drei renomierten Strassen. Zum Ersten; die Via Regia, früher ein Handelsweg Frankfurt a.M. - Leipzig. Das Schloss wurde 1528 zur Sicherung des Geleits gebaut. Zum Zweiten; die Deutsche Märchenstrasse. Durch die Brüder Grimm sind die Märchen im Ort allgegenwärtig. Und zum Dritten; die Deutdche Fachwerkstrasse.
Das Panorama entstand auf dem Platz vor dem Rathaus. Hier stehen lauter altehrwürdige Baudenkmale rund um den Kumpen. Das älteste Gebäude ist die Katharinenkirche, erbaut im 13.Jahrhundert.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
