Geographical location and size

Margretenhaun is located in the center of Germany, in the east of Hesse, in the western Vorderrhön, east of Fulda and the A 7 motorway . The district area of ​​the large community Petersberg is 35.51 km². Margretenhaun including Böckels, Rex and Horwieden is with 828 hectares, almost a quarter of the total district area, by far the largest, but in 2012 with 1017 residents in about 450 households the most sparsely populated district after Haunedorf. In terms of numbers, Margretenhaun has not grown in the past few decades. In purely mathematical terms, 124 residents live in one square kilometer of the municipal area. At the beginning of the 20th century there were 182 in the then still independent communities Margretenhaun, 119 in Böckels, and almost 100 in Rex; a total of about 400 people.

More than half of the area of ​​Margretenhaun is in the Hessian Rhön Nature Park . Its borderline is essentially the main road Melzdorf – Margretenhaun – Böckels and, for a short distance, the federal highway 458. Margretenhaun is directly adjacent to the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön with its district boundary to Dipperz . If you see the Margretenhauns church as the center of the village, it is just under 4 km as the crow flies or about 5 kilometers by car from the center of the core community of Petersberg or about 6 km as the crow flies or 7½ km by car from Fulda city ​​center. Geographically, the parish church is located approximately 9 °, 45 minutes, 46 seconds east longitude from Greenwich and 50 °, 34 ', 2 "north latitude from the equator. Of interest to geodesists are with a eastward (y): 35 54 034 and a high value (x): = 56 03 657 the Gauß-Krüger coordinates , a Cartesian coordination system that makes it possible to locate small areas, e.g. on sheet 5424 Fulda of the "Topographic Map".

The most striking elevation of the place is the Margretenberg, originally "Hunberg", popularly called "Hommelberg", with its 360.6 m above sea level. However, the highest altitudes are found on the Schneeberg, which rises on the eastern boundary of the district, on the road to Niederbieber with approx 370 or at the height of the Eichberg south of Armenhof at approx. 392 m above sea level. The lowest points are at the Kriesmühle at approx. 303 m above sea level.

The geographical center of the district of Fulda is in Margretenhaun. As a symbol for this, a basalt column was erected at this point in 2008.
