Walled old town
The historic centre is a compact, rounded cluster of narrow lanes. Its outline still follows the line of the medieval walls and makes a clear focal point.

On the wall



The map
Alsfeld lies in central Hesse, at the northern edge of the Vogelsberg, on the Schwalm River. On a map, the historic centre stands out as a compact, rounded shape. Narrow streets converge on the market square, and the outline traces the course of the old town wall. Newer districts spread outward in looser patterns, and the town ends in open, hilly farmland.
The old town is known for its half-timbered buildings, above all the town hall on the market square, built in the early sixteenth century. In 1975, Alsfeld was named a European model town for the preservation of historic monuments. The recognition reflects how complete its medieval centre remains. The street plan shows that continuity clearly.
An Alsfeld map poster keeps the old town at the centre, a dense oval of lanes that rewards close looking. Around it, later streets and the river valley add lighter texture, and the Vogelsberg hills fade into open space. The finished print has the quiet precision of an old town plan, drawn in modern cartographic detail.
The historic centre is a compact, rounded cluster of narrow lanes. Its outline still follows the line of the medieval walls and makes a clear focal point.
The streets of the old town converge on the market square beside the half-timbered town hall, completed in the early 1500s. It is the heart of the plan.
The Schwalm flows past the town, and roads follow its valley north. It adds a soft, curving line to the edge of the composition.
