About Fritzlar
Fritzlar is a market town of about 15,000 people in northern Hesse, built mainly on the north bank of the Eder.

Houses from the 15th to 17th centuries stand round the market square, and the town hall, first recorded in 1109, is still in use. The Romanesque and Gothic church of St Peter dominates the town. The homes are scattered around Fritzlar, sleep up to six, and most come with a garden; check each listing for details. Fritzlar is also a garrison town, with an airfield used by army helicopter units.
