Volkmarsen, Medieval town in Waldeck-Frankenberg, Germany.
The town spans 67 square kilometers at the northern edge of Waldecker Tafel, transitioning into Diemel Valley, 28 kilometers northwest of Kassel.
First documented in 1155, Volkmarsen received official town recognition through a papal safe-conduct issued by Pope Gregory IX in 1233.
The town coat of arms features Saints Peter and Paul, with the earliest seal designs dating back to documents from 1272.
The municipality connects to major cities through the A44 autobahn between Dortmund and Kassel, with hourly train service on the Warburg-Sarnau railway.
The Kugelsburg Castle, constructed around 1200, stands above the town and sustained significant damage during the Seven Years War conflicts.
