Panorama Museum:

In the green heart of Germany, in Thuringia, is the small town of Bad Frankenhausen. The town itself is over 1,000 years old!

Located above this historic town is a cylindrical building rising from the picturesque southern slopes of Kyffhäuser Mountain. This building, which is the home of the museum, houses the most spectacular commissions in recent German art history, the monumental painting.

The art contained in the museum was created by Werner Tübke and is extremely impressive. At 14 x 123 m, the dimensions of the painting, its artistic quality, and the uniqueness of the project combine to make the Panorama Museum an extraordinary experience.

For art lovers, this is a museum that is worth the visit.

About Thuringia:

The province of Thuringia is located in what was East Germany. Located next door to the Czech Republic and just above the province of Bavaria, Thuringia is a largely forested province.

The Thuringian Forest, located in the southwest corner of the province provides you with some of the finest walking in Germany.

Weimar is the primary city in Thuringia. In the northwest part of the province is where you will find the Kyffhauser mountains. This region contains many small villages and town and is still largely uninhabited. However, you can find many excellent hiking and nature trails here. The town of Bad Frankenhausen, where Pension Schönblick is located, is small spa town.

About Bad Frankenhausen:

Bad Frankenhausen, formerly known as Frankenhausen is a small town in central Germany. The town is located on the southern slopes of a small wooded mountain range known as the Kyffhauser Mountain.

The town is located approximately 25 miles north of Erfurt, approximately 60 miles west of Leipzig and about 120 miles southwest of Berlin.

Frankenhausen literally means "Frank's House" and as you might guess, the town was first settled by the Franks in the 6th century. The town, now over 1,000 years old was first created in the 9th century. In 952, Frankenhausen was property of Otto I "The Great".

The Hausmannsturm (lookout tower) is the oldest structure remaining in Frankenhausen. It was first recorded in manuscripts in the year of 998. Remnants of the old city wall, common for ancient European villages, still exist. Some buildings constructed in the 17th century are still in use in today. Also, the area still has the remains of the castles of Rothenburg (7th century ) and of Kyffhausen (12th century).

The town changed ownership in the 12th century when the Count of Rothenburg took control. During the 14 and 16 the centuries, various other Counts also had ownership of the town.

The town suffered some bad a few times when fires destroyed the village in 1689, 1759 and on February 15, 1833. As with many other European towns, the town was also destroyed by the bubonic plague in 1348, 1591, 1626, and 1639.

Circa year 1,000, the first in Frankenhausen was built. Today, the church is known as Altstadter Kirche (Old City Church).

In 1215, a Roman Catholic Cistercian nunnery (Klosterkirche) was built by Count Friedrich III. But in the 16th century, this was the area of Germany in which the Protestant Reformation began under Martin Luther which ultimately resulted in the creation of the Lutheran Church.

The convent was subsequently abandoned in 1551 and was then taken over as a Lutheran school in 1552. The church was reconstructed between 1596 - 1598. Unfortunately, it caught on fire and was destroyed in 1689. The current building was constructed in 1690 - 1703 and has a Baroque architectural style.

The church is now known as the Unterkirche. In 1703, Johann Nordt built an organ for the church. In 1804, the first German Music Festival was held in the Unterkirche. This then resulted in other national music festivals being held there in 1810 and 1811. Larger and bigger organs were later created for the church and it eventually became known as the best organ in Thüringen and among the best in Germany. To this day, organ concerts continue in the Unterkirche.

During the Reformation the town was the site of the Battle of Frankenhausen in May, 1525, where the Peasant's Revolt was ended with the defeat by the princes of the peasants led by Thomas Munzer. The revolt was inspired by misinterpretation of Martin Luther's preaching and was denounced by him.

The 1883 tax records for Frankenhausen show that the town was originally named Bärenklau (Bear Claw).

In the early part of the 20th century the name was changed to Bad Frankenhausen, indicating a spa area. In German, bad means "spa" or "bath".
