Frücht

The last owner from this house was Baron (German: Reichsfreiherr) Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein (October 25, 1757 – June 29, 1831), a Prussian statesman who introduced reforms, including abolition of serfdom, that paved the way for the unification of Germany.

Near the Protestant church on the northern outskirts of Frücht is the family tomb of the Barons vom und zum Stein.

The marble relief on vom Stein's grave monument was created between 1837 and 1840 by Munich sculptor Ludwig Michael Schwanthaler.

By opening up new land to development, the community has been able to meet a strong demand for housing in attractive surroundings while still being close to the city.

It was followed by the development in the locality called “In den Wiesen / Vordertal”, including the new streets "Grummetwiese", "Im Vogelsang" and the "Mühlenweg."

The local Protestant parish took over the sponsorship of the kindergarten, which is utilized by children from Frücht and the neighboring municipality of Becheln.

It includes references to the town's historical owners, with the golden Lion of the House of Nassau and the five-petaled red and blue Rose of the Barony vom Stein.
