Hof

Located at 500 meters elevation, Hof spans across 58 square kilometers near the Czech border between the Fichtel Mountains and Franconian Forest regions.

The settlement evolved from Curiae Variscorum during Roman times to become a significant trading post on Via Imperii between Italy and the Baltic Sea.

The Hofer Symphoniker orchestra performs regular concerts at the Theatre Hof, which presents opera, drama, and ballet productions throughout the year.

The University of Applied Sciences Hof provides higher education programs while maintaining strong connections with regional technology and manufacturing sectors.

Local culinary traditions include Schnitz hotpot and sausages prepared in coal-fired brass cauldrons, accompanied by the special Schlappenbier beer.
