The line opened on May 1, 1914, and closed on December 19, 1981. The single-track Kirchhain–Gemünden railway, also known as the Wohra Valley Railway, was a branch line in Hesse. It branched off from the Kassel–Frankfurt railway in Kirchhain and ran along the Wohra River to Gemünden, where the Kellerwald Railway joined the line to Zimmersrode, which is also on the Main-Weser Railway. This provided a diversion to the Main-Weser Railway between Zimmersrode and Kirchhain. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnstrecke_Kirchhain%E2%80%93Gem%C3%BCnden

Otto Ubbelohde liked the former sexton's house so much that he chose it as a model for the illustration of the witch's house for the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel" by the Brothers Grimm.
