Mindelheim, District capital in Unterallgäu, Germany.

Mindelheim extends along the river Mindel at 607 meters elevation, featuring medieval buildings and a central marketplace surrounded by traditional Bavarian architecture.

The town changed ownership in 1705 when Emperor Joseph I granted John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough, the title of Prince of Mindelheim until 1714.

The Schwäbisches Turmuhrenmuseum displays regional tower clocks while the ethnic art museum in Oberauerbach presents local artistic traditions and heritage.

The town maintains connections through the Buchloe-Memmingen railway line and sits 90 kilometers west of Munich, serving as an administrative center for the region.

Castle Mindelburg, which previously functioned as a defensive structure overlooking the town, now operates as a restaurant with views of the surrounding landscape.
