Cultural highlight Bad Hersfeld: Festivals secure state funding!
Bad Hersfeld, the lively town in the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district, is known not only for its rich culture and history, but also for its active club life and numerous important events. There is a lot to discover here - whether at the traditional Bad Hersfeld Festival or the large folk festivals, which attract numerous visitors year after year. The region, which stretches along the A4, A5 and A7 motorways in central Germany, is a real gem in the heart of the country. The fertilizer manufacturer K+S and the online giant Amazon are important employers, along with many committed local medium-sized businesses and craft businesses. The infrastructure projects are particularly interesting, including the renovation of the Bad Hersfeld high bridge, the construction of a new rapid transit line and the improvement of daycare places. So reported EAST HESSEN|NEWS.
A breath of fresh air is blowing in Bad Hersfeld – the OSTHESSEN|NEWS editorial team has repositioned itself. Editor-in-chief Christian P. Stadtfeld attaches great importance to the proximity to the region and the independence of the medium. Editorial director Nina Seikel emphasizes the importance of personal exchange with readers. The other editors such as chief reporter Hans-Hubertus Braune, who has lived in Niederaula since his childhood, or cultural reporter Constantin von Butlar are active in depicting the local diversity. Above all, the popularity of the region is reflected in the over 220,000 daily accesses to the regional news.
Bad Hersfeld Festival in focus
But what would Bad Hersfeld be without the Bad Hersfeld Festival? The state CDU recently held an information discussion that dealt intensively with the significance of this cultural event. Director Joern Hinkel and Mayor Anke Hofmann were there. Together with Lucas Schmitz, chairman of the Science and Culture Working Group, and other representatives, they discussed the challenges and opportunities the festival presents for the region. The largest funding amount for the Bad Hersfeld Festival was secured, which underlines the relevance of these events. How bad-hersfeld.de reported, the funding will also apply next season.
Another highlight of the event was the tour of the monastery ruins, where Bernd Hämmelmann and Johannes van Horrick explained the challenges of installing a stage and grandstand in the listed building. Maintaining monument protection plays a central role - the festival should continue to be experienced in this unique setting in the future.

In recent years, the region has established itself as an important center for culture, politics and business. In addition to the Bad Hersfeld Festival, there are also the many small and large folk festivals that contribute to the quality of life and ensure encounters.
