Lullusfest in Bad Hersfeld, Germany

The links between Malmesbury and Bad Hersfeld date back to the early 8th century. Saint Lull, a companion of Saint Boniface who was educated in Malmesbury, founded a Benedictine monastery in Bad Hersfeld in 756, from which the introduction of the Saxons to Christianity was centred.
Lullusfest is Germany’s oldest folk festival.
