Bad Karlshafen is a baroque, thermal salt spa town in the district of Kassel, in Hesse, Germany. It has 2300 inhabitants in the main ward of Bad Karlshafen, and a further 1900 in the medieval village of Helmarshausen. It is situated at the confluence of the Diemel and Weser rivers, 15 km south of Höxter, and 37 km north of Kassel. The town was founded in 1699 by French Huguenots fleeing persecution in France. Though initially named Sieburg, the town was later named after Charles I, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, who granted them refuge. The German Huguenot Museum located here contains a picture archive, library, and family histories of the Huguenots in Germany. Charles I, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, had ambitious plans for town-planning and developing new water trade channels in the region; including a 'haven' in Karlshafen. Together with his engineer and architect Friedrich Conradi he developed plans for a Landgrave-Carl-Canal in order to avoid customs duty at Hannoversch Münden, but these were never finalised. Plans for Bad Karlshafen, however, were partially completed in a baroque style by architect Paul du Ry in 1717 and the town was renamed as Carlshaven. Since 1977 Karlshafen has spa status, which is when it received the title 'Bad'. ----------------------------- Such a pity that this beautiful and unique town is fading away... For some reasons nobody wants to live there, the beautiful historical buildings are empty, the shops and restaurants closed... and the thermal pool is absolutely great!!! badkarlshafen, town, buildings, architecture, church, tower, harbour, germany, hessen, hesse, nordhessen, deutschland, winter, snow, cold January 28, 2017 at 03:15AM Bad Karlfhafen by JoannaRB2009 http://flic.kr/p/Qk6mNu

June 4, in Bad Karlshaven

Didn’t train for the Good Winds Bike Tour today. Hell, I don’t even have a bike here! But i have most definitely been planning. And I’ve been watching a lot of people cycling… Surely this will count for something in six weeks. To be fair, I HAVE been dragging around a suitcase that weighs in the 30-kilo range since May 10th. I’m not ready to really call this *exercise*, but I will call it a test of stamina. goodwindsbiketour.com morganfinlay.com
