Muehlhausen: Thomas Muentzer's City, Medieval Wall Ring, and Thuringia's Free Imperial Past
Muehlhausen has a population around 38,100 and lies in northwestern Thuringia, between the Hainich National Park and the Eichsfeld hills. The radical reformer Thomas Muentzer led the Peasants' War from Muehlhausen in 1524-1525, establishing a short-lived theocratic council before his capture and execution. The town was a Free Imperial City from the 13th century, and its nearly complete medieval town wall, stretching about 2.7 kilometres, is one of the best preserved in Germany.
The Divi-Blasii-Kirche is where Johann Sebastian Bach served as organist in 1707-1708. The Marienkirche, Thuringia's second-largest church, dominates the skyline. The town retains much of its medieval street plan. The Hainich National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage beech forest, begins just south of Muehlhausen. Erfurt is about 70 kilometres southeast. Adult companionship follows Thuringian regulatory standards.
