March 23, 2024, Spitalkirche St. Marien (Hospital Church of St. Mary)

The hospitals used to be the sick and care facilities. Where the name hospital is integrated into the town (churches, streets/alleys, gardens/parks, districts, etc.) there was usually a hospital in the past. These hospitals were often located on the outskirts of the city at the time.

Next to the gate, a small, idyllic pedestrian archway leads north from the green house. The Jean Paul Path leads through the gate.

There are so many details to discover here. Small information boards, painted lanterns and much more. The east side is currently a single construction site. Not all stores are operational.

In 1878 the Fichtelgebirge section of the German Alpine Club was founded in Wunsiedel. She saw her task as developing the Fichtelgebirge. Ten years later, the Alpine Club section was dissolved and the Fichtelgebirgesverein, based in Wunsiedel, was founded in this building. The respective forester from Wunsiedel took over management for many years.

The Fichtelgebirge Club was founded in 1888 in Wunsiedel, when the "Fichtelgebirge Section" of the Alpine Club, which had existed since 1878, was dissolved or converted into an independent club. The tasks and goals initially remained the same: opening up the mountains for hikers. The erection of a massive viewing tower in 1900 on the Großer Kornberg was the first major structure. The Asenturm on the 1024 m high Ochsenkopf was built in 1922, one year later today's observation tower on the Kösseine. Source and more info https://www.fichtelgebirgsverein.de/vereinsgeschichte/

The Fichtelgebirge Association was founded on December 16, 1888 in the building at Sigmund-Wann-Strasse 37. The commemorative plaque made of ox head porphyry was unveiled on September 10, 1988 at the 100th anniversary celebrations. The design was by Gerhard Kammerer from the Wunsiedel city building authority, and the stonemasonry was carried out by Karl and Peter Mayer from Wunsiedel.

The coffee mill, as the Wunsiedler call the school because of the shape of the historic school building, will be transformed in the coming years into a completely new type of school in Bavaria.
