In Hartenstein between market and church is the Paul-Fleming-House situated.
The German baroque-poet Paul Fleming was born in 1609 in the former old school building of Hartenstein.

Thanks to the initiative of the town administration Hartenstein and�the Paul-Fleming-Club a memorial has been set up at the complete restored building.

At the memorial one learns a lot of interesting facts about Paul Fleming. Apart from his life career a chart informs about Feming's trip to Persia from 1633�to 1639. One can also admire Fleming books and copies exhibited in a cabinet.
