The large market square in Bad Hersfeld is mainly used as a parking lot. But:
The Lullus Festival is celebrated here every October 16 on the market square in Bad Hersfeld. It commemorates the city's founder, the Archbishop of Mainz, whose day of death is October 16. The student of St. Boniface, known as the Apostle of the Germans, founded the later imperial abbey Hersfeld in 769. With the canonization of Archbishop Lull in 852 the church festival came into being, to which pilgrims traveled to the saint's grave in the newly built collegiate church. The pilgrimages developed an important market with traders, jugglers and happy celebrations. While the pilgrimage lost importance, the Lullusfest developed into a folk festival.

Big car park. It's a pity - because this city deserves more in this place. A bit cool - because a spot for parking the automobile is great
