Heimatmuseum am Obertor
Mittelbuchens Wahrzeichen, das Obertor, ist älter als bisher angenommen. Nachforschungen im Archiv des Fürstenhauses zu Ysenburg und Büdingen ergaben, dass das Obertor bereits 1485 und nicht erst 1535 in den Analen erwähnt ist. In einem Schreiben vom 16. Mai 1419 gab der Erzbischof Johann von Nassau den Befehl den Ort Mittelbuchen zu befestigen. Der Aufbau über dem Obertor wurde erst 1814 aufgesetzt und das Haus daneben entstand 1828. Wann der Säuturm gebaut wurde ist in den Unterlagen nicht erwähnt. Heute dient das Ensemble als Heimatmuseum

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
