Cathedral of St. Salvator in Fulda

Highlight • Religious Site

The landmark of the city of Fulda. In the spiritual world as the seat of the diocese of Fulda and the destination of the Boniface pilgrimage, the High Cathedral in Fulda plays an outstanding role. But the building is also very popular as an excursion destination and photo opportunity. The surrounding buildings and the forecourt of the cathedral are really impressive.

Paulus Gate, Fulda

Highlight • Monument

The gate was moved to its current location at the end of Pauluspromenade in 1771 at the request of Prince-Bishop Heinrich von Bibra. It originally stood between the City Palace and the Main Guard. The gate was named after the Apostle Paul. A statue of Paul is located in the center above the portal.

Orangery Fulda and the Flora Vase

Highlight • Historical Site

The Fulda Orangery was built from 1721 onwards according to plans by the Mainz chief building director Maximilian von Welsch. It served as a venue for the prince abbots' summer festivals. In winter it was used as a storage place for the popular ornamental trees such as lemons and oranges. Today, the magnificent building with its baroque halls provides a festive setting for festive events. The Apollo Hall in the middle of the building is worth seeing; it is now the breakfast room and café of the adjoining Maritim Hotel. The ceiling fresco with the mirror vault shows the sun god Apollo with his sun chariot in the middle. The golden roof decoration of the orangery, the pineapple, is recognizable from afar as a symbol of exoticism.

Bonifatius, birth name Wynfreth (also Wynfrith, Winfrid, Winfried, * around 673 in Crediton; † June 5, 754 or 755 near Dokkum in Friesland), was one of the best-known Christian missionaries and the most important church reformers in the Frankish kingdom.
He was mission archbishop, papal legate for Germania, bishop of Mainz, most recently bishop of Utrecht and founder of several monasteries, including Fulda.
Due to his large-scale missionary work, which he carried out with Franconian support, in Germania, which was then still predominantly non-Christian, he has been honored by the Catholic Church as the "Apostle of the Germans" since the 16th century.

Old Town Hall, Fulda

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town hall is beautiful: an extraordinary half-timbered building. However, the despicable department store building on the square is an architectural nightmare.

Since the train is once again not running as it should and the train connection has been lifted, I made a stopover in Fulda. I was here once before in the spring by bike.
A beautiful city that I will definitely visit again.

From the short tour in Fulda with all the main attractions, the legs have become terribly tired, just like the human as a whole. Fulda is already a show because of its magnificent green spaces and buildings. Sensational is the story about St. Boniface, whose bones lie in the Cathedral, although part of the skull can be found in the …
