Büdingen, Medieval fortified town in Wetteraukreis, Germany.
The stone walls surrounding Büdingen extend for 2.5 kilometers, incorporating 22 defensive towers that protected the medieval settlement.
The first documented mention of Büdingen dates to 847, with the settlement gaining formal market town status from Emperor Louis IV in 1330.
The Museum of Desert Roses displays geological formations while the Heuson Museum presents archaeological artifacts spanning 1200 years of regional history.
The city center offers multiple parking areas near the old town gates, with direct access to the main shopping streets and historical landmarks.
