Here are some impressions from the open-air museum Hessenpark, which showcases e.g. more than 100 half-timbered buildings from the land of Hesse.
These images were taken during Easter time, so this is the "Osterbrunnen" at the market square. An Easter Well or Easter Fountain is a German tradition of decorating public wells or fountains with Easter eggs for Easter.

The next image shows a post mill, which is the earliest type of European windmills. The whole body of the mill is mounted on a single vertical post, around which it can be turned to bring the sails into the wind. They occur more frequently in Germany since the beginning of the fifteenth century and were normally used for grinding of grain.

There are a many more houses from the different parts of Hesse, which were dismantled at the original location and are rebuilt or will be reconstructed in the Hessenpark.
