Butzbach

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Butzbach is a town in the Wetteraukreis district in Hesse, Germany. It is located approximately 16 km south of Gießen, and 35 km north of Frankfurt am Main.

Butzbach will be the site of the 2007 Hessentag, which will take place June 1 to June 10, a yearly Hesse-wide festive event showcasing various parts of the state. It is estimated that 10,000-20,000 people will attend.

The "Landgrafenschloss" ("landgraves' castle"), used by the United States Army until 1990, is now utilized by the city council. The town's market place is enclosed by timber framing. The "Schrenzer" hill overlooks the town and the country north of Frankfurt, called Wetterau.
