Alsfeld

The town center contains over 400 timber-framed buildings spanning seven centuries of architectural development, including the Gothic Town Hall in the market square.

First documented in 1069, Alsfeld reached its peak in the 16th century with substantial architectural developments, including the construction of the town hall.

The Brothers Grimm found inspiration for Little Red Riding Hood in the traditional Schwalm costume, particularly the red cap worn in the Alsfeld region.

The Tourist Center provides guided tours through narrow cobblestone streets, explaining the history behind the medieval structures and fairy tale connections.

Seven bells in the 14th-century Walpurgis Church ring throughout the day, creating melodies that echo across the town's ancient wine houses.
