Bad Hersfeld: Stiftsruine Festival Theatre, Konrad Duden's Town, and the East Hessen Spa at the Fulda Corridor
Bad Hersfeld is home to about 30,700 people and lies in eastern Hessen on the Fulda river. The Stiftsruine, the ruin of a Romanesque abbey church, serves as an open-air theatre for the annual Bad Hersfelder Festspiele, one of Germany's major summer theatre festivals. Konrad Duden, who standardised German spelling, was a school director here, and the town honours his connection.
The spa function rests on mineral springs, with Kuranlagen (spa gardens) in the town centre. Amazon and other logistics companies have large distribution centres here, drawn by the central German location and motorway access (A4/A7 junction). Fulda is about 35 kilometres southwest. Eisenach is roughly 45 kilometres east across the Thuringian border. The Knuellgebirge hills lie to the west.
