The “Alte Wache” used to be home to the police guards. The building, built at the end of the 18th century, offers a good view over the parade ground, which used to be completely surrounded by trees.

Hebendanz Brewery

Highlight • Pub

The pub of the Neder Brewery is a special place in Forchheim. Not only the original wooden beam ceiling from the 16th century exudes a homely charm, but also the inventory was left as it was around 60 years ago. Good Franconian beer!

Forchheim Town Hall and Town Hall Square

Highlight • Monument

The cantilevers that can be found in many old houses, incidentally, stem from the fact that, in earlier times, taxes were often calculated based on the floor space of a house, and in this way it was possible to gain space on the upper floors that had no financial impact.

Zwinger Bastion, Forchheim

Highlight • Historical Site

Part of the surviving Baroque fortification of Forchheim is the Zwinger Bastion (built in 1657 - after the Thirty Years' War) with a wall from the Bastion of the Saltorturm to the rest of the northern moated castle (protection of the Wiesentkanal exit).
A small hint, no one knows that, as I can remember from my childhood: In the context of the construction of the RMD-channel - the dammed in Forchheimer area as running water of the Regnitz and Wiesent - the groundwater level rose sharply. At that time, this required a backfilling of the upstream ditches by several meters (4 m?). Of course, this was a lot more powerful in terms of fastening technology. The fortress ditches used to be flooded over the Wiesent canals in times of threat.
