Gerichtsplatz Vollmarshausen, Medieval court square in Vollmarshausen, Lohfelden, Germany
Gerichtsplatz Vollmarshausen is a village square in the center of Vollmarshausen featuring traditional buildings around it and a lime tree in the middle. The space includes a stone table with bench remnants that mark where legal proceedings once took place.
The square originated in the Middle Ages as a judicial meeting place for three communities: Vollmarshausen, Crumbach, and Ochshausen. It served this legal purpose until the 19th century when judicial functions moved elsewhere.
The square's name reflects its historical judicial role that shaped daily life for centuries. Today residents and visitors experience this space as a living community gathering point that honors that past.
The square is located at Brunnenstraße 1 in the village center and is easy to reach on foot. The surroundings provide plenty of space to walk around and explore the traditional buildings nearby.
A 250-year-old lime tree once stood in this location and was protected as a natural monument. It was replaced in 2015 with a young tree believed to be an offspring of the original.
