Wetzlar
Wetzlar is a town in the
German federal state (Bundesland) of
Hesse, capital of the
Lahn-Dill district. Located at 8° 30′ E, 50° 34′ N, there are (as of 2002) approximately 54,000 inhabitants. The town is situated on the
Lahn river. Notable architectural features include the Eisenmarkt and the steep grades and claustrophobic street layout of a medieval town. The sandstone
cathedral of St. Mary was commenced in the
12th century as a
Romanesque building. In the later
Middle Ages the construction was continued under a masterplan in
Gothic style. The church was never finished, as one steeple still is uncompleted. The cathedral suffered heavy damage in the
Second World War by
aerial bombing, but was restored in the 1950s. On the outskirts of town exist the ruins of several masonry towers arranged along the river.
