The article discusses the historic importance of the Hohen Straße, a once vital route that connected various peoples and cultures, now revitalized as part of a regional park route in eastern Wetterau, Germany.
The Hohen Straße, historically significant as a major thoroughfare, played a crucial role in the movement of various groups including armies, pilgrims, and traders throughout the Rhein-Main area for centuries. This route was also deemed essential by Napoleon during troop movements. Over time, as cities expanded and infrastructural improvements were made in the valleys, the road's prominence diminished, risking it falling into obscurity. However, revitalization efforts along the regional park route have brought it back to public awareness, enhancing the area's cultural heritage. Artists and planners have worked to create visually engaging installations that connect visitors to the road's rich history and its former significance in regional and European context.
