Kettengässchen

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

It is not a particularly narrow alley, but it is certainly quite narrow. The alley, which is characterized by several half-timbered houses, is definitely worth seeing. The name is mysterious. A connection to medieval fortifications is questionable. It may be that it comes from the name of a family that owns the house. Today, the two entrances to the alley are marked with a chain stretched across the street, and numerous pennants also arouse curiosity.

Bad Hersfeld Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

After a major fire in 1038, the new building began and the collegiate church was built. In 1761, when the French army withdrew, burned down the supplies they had piled up in the collegiate church. One of the largest sacred halls in Germany went up in flames and was almost completely destroyed.

The Katharinenturm only houses one bell today: the Lullus bell. As the inscription shows, it dates from 1038 and is Germany's oldest cast bell.

Statues of Konrad Duden and Konrad Zuse

Highlight • Monument

Two Konrads who are connected with the city history of Bad Hersfeld: K. Duden, author of the German standard dictionary, was the school director in Bad Hersfeld. K. Zuse, inventor of the computer, opened a factory in Bad Hersfeld to manufacture the same. Although they lived in Bad Hersfeld at completely different times, the monument suggests a lively discussion between the two. So it couldn't have been like that. Should the viewer think about what the two should say to each other.
