Waldeck-Frankenberg, Administrative division in Kassel Region, Germany
Waldeck-Frankenberg stretches across 1,848 square kilometers of varied terrain, making it the largest district within the state of Hesse.
The district emerged in 1974 through the merger of two separate territories, Waldeck and Frankenberg, previously belonging to the Principality of Waldeck and Pyrmont.
The district encompasses twenty-two municipalities, with Korbach serving as the capital city and administrative center for governmental operations and regional planning.
The district maintains direct transportation links to neighboring regions through an extensive network of roads connecting Höxter, Kassel, and Marburg-Biedenkopf districts.
The Edersee, an artificial lake spanning 12 square kilometers within the district, forms the centerpiece of water management and regional development initiatives.
