Schildthurner Straße in Tann: The closure will be lifted on Wednesday!

Schildthurner Straße in Tann, in the Rottal-Inn district, will be reopened to traffic on Wednesday, December 18th. According to the Passau State Building Authority, the extensive work on road renovation and the construction of a footpath and cycle path have been successfully completed. However, due to the winter weather, the asphalt surface layer could not be installed in time; this will now be made up for in April 2025. The previous work included the renewal of the roadway and the construction of a new flood protection system. Despite the current weather conditions, the road crossings are already suitable for traffic, which means that the winter service can operate without any problems PNP reported.

Significance and history of Gelnhausen

Gelnhausen, the well-known town in Hesse, stretches just 40 kilometers east of Frankfurt am Main between the picturesque Vogelsberg and Spessart mountains. This city, which was founded around 1170 by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa, looks back on a rich history and is now the capital of the Main-Kinzig district. Gelnhausen played an important role as a trading town and was a central hub that connected the empire with important trade routes. Particularly noteworthy is the Imperial Palace, which is considered one of the best-preserved buildings of this era. This historical significance could make Gelnhausen an exciting destination for tourists wanting to explore the German Fairytale Route, as the information from Wikipedia clarify.
