Michael Thonet's life's work impressively reflects the transition from craftsmanship to industrial mass production in the 19th century. But the success of Thonet's manufacturing was not based solely on the perfection of solid wood bending. It was the entrepreneurial vision of master cabinetmaker Michael Thonet that guaranteed the permanent development of products and production techniques. The best proof of his extraordinary skills is the bentwood furniture that is still produced in Frankenberg today, based on Michael Thonet's originals. The Thonet Museum grew from very small beginnings. Many pieces could be purchased or traded in locally, as the factory has been producing in Frankenberg since 1889.

The foundation stone for the three-nave Liebfrauenkirche was laid in 1286, based on the model of the Elisabethkirche in Marburg. Worth seeing are the windows in the choir with stained glass from the middle of the 14th century, sacrament box, stone pulpit and the ceiling paintings.

Once a nunnery of the Cistercian order, it now houses the District Office and the District Home Museum with sacred exhibits by the master builder and stone sculptor Tyle von Frankenberg and many works by Philipp Soldan.

One of the most famous landmarks in the area of Frankenberg in Hesse is the two-story half-timbered town hall built in the Gothic style, which is not only adorned by ten towers, but also by the piggyback figures of the artist Philipp Soldan, who is known far beyond the borders of the town.
