location
Almers was located south of Hettenhausen in what is now Gichenbach, about 16 kilometers south-east of Fulda.
history
Almers is probably built around 1200. It was first mentioned in 1451 in a property survey of Hans von Ebersberg as a fiefdom of the Hochstift Fulda . By then it was probably already desolate. In 1540 it was owned by the von Ebersberg family. In 1560 a third of the property was transferred to the Fulda Monastery. The Ebersberg shares later passed through marriage to the noble families of those von Berlepsch , those von Schade and the Specht von Bubenheim . In 1605 Balthasar von Dernbach bought the share of those from Schade and in 1699 the share of those from Berlepsch was bought by the Fulda monastery.
