Bad Hersfeld

Few towns in Hesse have a history as closely tied to a Benedictine abbey as Bad Hersfeld. The Fulda flows through this east-Hessian town, whose development was long shaped by Hersfeld Abbey, an important imperial abbey in the Middle Ages. Its surviving church ruins, known as the Stiftsruine, form an imposing centrepiece of the old town. Timber-framed houses and pedestrian streets add to the historic fabric, while the Bad Hersfelder Festspiele brings theatre to the abbey ruins each summer.
