Inside the castle is the University Museum of Cultural History which focuses on the history of Hesse. Although all descriptions are in German, the museum is well worth a short visit. The museum can be divided into three main sections. The first part on the ground floor is of ceramics, some modern, and pretty much missable. On the first floor, cross over to the 15th-century Wilhemsbau, which has five small floors of museum exhibitions.
The best ones are on floors two to four, which include armories and weapons, religious objects and, most interestingly, articles from civilian life in Hesse. It is easy to picture characters from early Goethe works and later Romantics in chairs and furniture on display here.
Not particularly well marked are the entrances to the knights’ hall, the largest secular Gothic room in Germany, and the small chapel on the second floor of the main building. The wall painting of St Christopher in the chapel is original and dates from the 13th century.
