Zeil am Main, Medieval town in Lower Franconia, Germany

Zeil am Main extends along the right bank of the Main River, featuring traditional houses, medieval walls, and towers at 230 meters elevation.

The first documented mention of Zeil dates to 1018 through a deed of donation from Henry II, receiving municipal law in 1379.

The Altstadt Weinfest in August celebrates the region's wine production with local vintages, traditional foods, and regional music performances.

The town connects to major cities through regular bus services, with Bamberg 24 kilometers southeast and Schweinfurt 25 kilometers west.

The Hexenturm tower stands as a memorial to 400 individuals executed during historical witch trials, now housing documentation of these events.
