Leinefelde-Worbis

Leinefelde-Worbis is a town in the Eichsfeld region of Thuringia that spreads across gentle hills. It consists of several districts with a mix of older and newer buildings, with green spaces and small parks scattered throughout.

The two towns of Leinefelde and Worbis developed independently during medieval times in this region. In 1974, they merged administratively to become stronger together economically and in size.

The name combines two former settlements that merged in 1974 into a single municipality. Walking through the town, you can sense how two distinct communities came together under one administration.

The town is easy to reach by car via regional roads and offers parking in various parts of town. For walking exploration, most districts are compact and relatively flat, with good paths connecting the main areas.

The merger of the two towns was a typical example of territorial reforms in Germany after World War II. Many such mergers were meant to improve efficiency, and the town today still shows how two originally separate centers coexist side by side.
