Surrounded by shady trees, the Old Johanneskirche, the oldest preserved building in the district of Ebernburg and indeed the entire city, stands in the cemetery.

The washed linen or hemp textiles were spread out on the grass and continually moistened. The interplay of sunlight, water, and oxygen from the grasses triggered a chemical reaction that produced hydrogen peroxide in small amounts as a bleaching…
