Fulda, Administrative district in Hesse, Germany
The Fulda district spreads across 1,380 square kilometers of varied terrain, including sections of the Rhön and Vogelsberg mountains in northeastern Hesse.
The district formation dates to 1821 when the Duchy of Fulda joined Hesse, leading to a territorial division into four administrative regions.
The district maintains 23 municipalities, each contributing to the regional identity through local festivals, traditional architecture, and community gatherings.
The district center, accessible via the A7 motorway and multiple railway connections, provides administrative services for over 220,000 residents.
The district territory contains the Wasserkuppe, the highest peak in Hesse at 950 meters, recognized as the birthplace of German gliding.
