Frankenthal, Historic municipality in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Frankenthal is an independent city in Rhineland-Palatinate, spreading between Mannheim and Worms across the Rhine plain. Streets connect residential neighborhoods with commercial areas and public facilities, while green spaces run along smaller waterways.
The village was first mentioned as Franconodal in 772 and remained a small settlement by the water for centuries. After the arrival of Dutch Protestant refugees, the settlement received town rights in 1577 and developed into a center for textile crafts and later for industry.
The Protestant Twelve Apostles Church and the town hall at Rathausplatz shape the cityscape with facades from different eras. Visitors see fountains and sculptures in public squares that recall the craft tradition of the region.
The town center can be explored on foot, while bike paths along waterfront streets offer an alternative. Many shops and facilities are accessible and most public areas lie within a short distance from the railway station.
Between 1755 and 1794, a workshop here produced porcelain that can now be found in collections worldwide. The surviving buildings of these workshops still stand in the old town and recall this craft era.
