As the first rural borough in Northern Hessen, we have created a "Local Alliance for Families" and thus moved the family into the centre of political and social interest.

Distinctive focus is placed on the children. Not only do they grow up in a natural environment, but also the parents find an excellent infrastructure regarding care and education. Toddlers groups, day care centres and private initiative are just as much a part of this as are a wide range of schools. Here, your children will be taught from primary school to high school or private school in manageable class sizes and can safely go to school.

Of course, holiday fun for the young and old has not been forgotten either. A bike ride on the Werra Valley Cycling Trail, hiking or skiing on the Hohe Meissner, boat-hiking on the Werra or sailing on the Werra Valley Lake – here everybody will find the right thing for them. You will also be enchanted by the wide range of cultural events and entertainment on offer as well as the opportunities for wellness and health around brine and salt.

And even after leaving the professional life, here you will find what you have always dreamed of. Affordable housing, inexpensive homes, optimal care infrastructure, a wonderful, well wooded low mountain range and so forth, and so forth – but come and look for yourself. Visit us and enjoy the Werra-Meißner region in the Werra Valley.
