Schweinfurt City Wall

Highlight • Historical Site

1.
The old town includes the area of the independent city of Schweinfurt that dates back to the Middle Ages. It should not be confused with the so-called old town village. The old town is identical to district 11 and belongs to the city center district, which also includes districts 12 and 13.[2] The old town lies east of these two districts. It is viewed by locals as an independent district because it has completely different structures than the districts 12 and 13, which predominantly come from the Wilhelminian era.

Oberer Wall Schweinfurt

Highlight • Historical Site

Since 1833, the eastern city wall has been called the Wall, initially without the "upper" and "lower" designations. At that time, this name did not exist as a house address, as all houses only had entrances/exits to Burggasse or Krummen Gasse. In 1806, the Lower Wall was created as a walking path and green space.

Originally, the wall dates back to the 13th century as an artificial earthwork. In the second half of the 16th century, this wall was significantly raised, as the eastern side of the city was considered the most dangerous side for attack. From there, shelling of the city from Kiliansberg was possible. The wall was and is supported by retaining walls.

Schweinfurt Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

As in the Middle Ages, the market square is still a central and lively place for urban trade. Vegetable and fruit farmers from the surrounding area still come to the Schweinfurt market on market days to offer their goods.

Friedrich Rückert Monument

Highlight • Monument

On the market place rises the monument of one of the most famous sons of the city - Friedrich Rückert.
The poet and orientalist, whose birthplace is on the southeast corner of the market square, has been surveying the hustle and bustle on the lively square since 1890. The monument was created by the architect Friedrich Ritter von Thiersch and the sculptor Wilhelm von Rühmann. At the foot of the bronze rump, there are allegorical figures from his works, "Harnessed Sonnets" and "Brahmin Wisdom".

The building, which was built in 1904 as a tax office, is wonderful to look at and is now home to both the regional court and the district court of Schweinfurt.

A hall that has existed since 2009 and has top-class staff. From the permanent exhibition on "Art after 1945 in Germany" to the extraordinary temporary exhibitions on a wide variety of topics to the statues and works of art that can be seen in front of the gates of the hall, there is something for art fans of all kinds. All information is available here: kunsthalle-schweinfurt.de/de/index.html.
