Get to know Titmaringhausen through its architectural history and an extensive network of hiking trails in the Hohe Pön area. There is also a trail that starts and ends in the village centre, as well as a history trail that takes in several places. The village lies in the valley of the Wilde Aa, between the foothills of the Rothaar Mountains. The road ends here, so there is no through traffic. Local history, hiking trails and the history trail that runs through several places are the main points to consider when planning your trip.
The Chapel’s History and the Fresenhof
Titmaringhausen was first mentioned in a document in 1280. A small chapel was built there in 1623. In 1954, an extension to St Anthony’s Chapel was built over the Wilde Aa.
Another perspective on the area’s architectural history is offered by the listed Fresenhof in Titmaringhausen, a district of Medebach. The old farmhouse dates from 1768 and has an even older granary from 1708. Comparing their ages brings the difference between the two buildings into focus: the granary is 60 years older than the farmhouse. The Fresenhof is privately owned and can be viewed from the outside.
Hiking Trails with Different Points of Interest
The extensive network of hiking trails in the Hohe Pön area provides a setting for hikes in Titmaringhausen. For a clear route in the village, take the Kohlhagenweg (T2): it starts in the village centre and leads back there. The “In the Footsteps of Glindfeld Monastery” history trail has a different focus. It features more than 22 stops at original historical sites and runs from Glindfeld via Küstelberg to Titmaringhausen and Deifeld.
When choosing a trail, consider its route: the Kohlhagenweg is described as starting in the village centre and returning there. The history trail takes in several named places and historical sites. This makes it easier to decide whether you would prefer a route with a clear connection to the village or one with stops at different locations.
