500 Years of Alsfeld Town Hall (1512 - 2012)
Sent by Edda from Hesse, Germany.
Alsfeld (German pronunciation: [ˈalsfɛlt]) is a town in the center of Hesse, in Germany.
Located about 100 km (62 mi) north of Frankfurt, Alsfeld is part of the densely populated Frankfurt Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region, with nearby Lauterbach (about 15 km (9.3 mi) east), one of the two centre cities of the Vogelsbergkreis district.
Alsfeld is best described as a blend of a historic bourgeois European town and its rural-agricultural environs and shaped by typical Lutheran-Pietist characteristics, such as austerity and a Protestant work ethic. It is well known for its well-preserved old town with hundreds of picturesque timber-frame houses, and part of the German Timber-Frame Road (read more).
