History
Hammelburg was first documented on 18 April 716 as Hamulo Castellum, when Hedan II, Duke of Thuringia, donated the place to Saint Willibrord. In 741, Carloman bequeathed Saint Martin's Church (Martinskirche) to Saint Boniface for the foundation of the Diocese of Würzburg. In 777, Charlemagne donated Hammelburg with its entire municipal area to the Abbey of Fulda. At this time, the fortress (Castellum) was in a favorable location at a ford on the Franconian Saale, and on the intersection of east–west and north–south trade routes.
