Tourist Attractions
- 1 Soviet war cemetery. During the Second World War, a camp was built near Herleshausen for sick Soviet prisoners of war, who were previously used as forced laborers for the construction of today's A4 motorway, for example. After the war, the mayor of Herleshausen, Karl Fehr, enforced against all opposition that the deaths in the camp were officially recorded, for which he received the Federal Cross of Merit. Prisoners of war known by name were buried in the cemetery in 1593, the cemetery is still maintained today.
