700 years: Hosman is celebrating!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1319 the Harbachtal municipality of Hosman\/Holzmengen was first mentioned in a document under the name “Holzmenia”. On the occasion of the 700th anniversary, a large celebration will take place on 3 and 4 August 2019 on the initiative of the Hometown Community (HOG). – A welcome occasion for people from near and far to clean up the fortified church built between the 13th and 15th centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

After Hosman HOG members had already uncovered overgrown paths and gutters in the churchyard in April (read the article here<\/a>), the Fortified Churches Foundation carried out further important restoration measures in June. A wall surface survey by restorer L\u00f3rand Kiss confirmed that there are no yet unknown elements or frescoes worth protecting on the interior walls. On the basis of this expertise, it was possible to knock off the moisture-promoting cement plaster in the nave, and a new coat of paint was applied to the wall above the organ stand at the west gallery.<\/span><\/p>\n
