Hasungen Abbey

In 1074 a monastery was built, on the authority of Siegfried I, Archbishop of Mainz, over the grave of the hermit Heimerad (d. 1019), who had had a little chapel and hermitage here.

The historian Lambert of Hersfeld (d. circa 1088) was possibly abbot of Hasungen towards the end of his life.
