Grimma

The area was settled by Sorbs and Wends, but around 1200 the immigration of settlers, mainly from Lower Saxony, Westphalia and Flanders, began to build new towns and villages.

The strategically good location on the Mulde prompted Margrave Otto the Rich to build a settlement in the Aue in 1170. Grimma received city rights in 1220. Around 1170, a Romanesque church was built near the old market square where a wooden church used to stand. This church was enlarged in Gothic style from 1220. The transept was built around 1462; The town fire of 1430 also damaged the church. Until the Reformation, the Frauenkirche was under the Bishop of Merseburg and was the seat of an archdeacon.
Hats, caps, gloves and military items are offered here. Maybe epaulettes?
