Alsfeld is a town (16,037 inhabitants at the end of 2019) in the centre of Hesse, in Germany. Large towns nearby are Bad Hersfeld to the east, Fulda to the southeast, Gießen to the west and Marburg an der Lahn to the northwest. Alsfeld is located on the upper part of the Schwalm in the northern Vogelsberg and just to the south of the Knüll mountains at the western edge of the Alsfeld basin. In 1961, the town hosted the first Hessentag state festival.

As a result of the district reform that took effect on July 11, 1972 the villages of Berfa, Hattendorf, Liederbach and Lingelbach were merged into the town of Alsfeld.
