Friedberg is an urban municipality in the Aichach-Friedberg district in Bavaria, situated at roughly 516 meters elevation with multiple residential areas and modern facilities. The town includes green spaces, schools, and connections to neighboring cities and the Frankfurt metropolitan region.
After World War II, Ray Barracks was established as an American military base on land that would shape the town's development for decades. The closure of the barracks in 2007 opened the way for the site to be reimagined as part of the town's future growth.
The town maintains partnerships with municipalities in Portugal, Italy, and France that bring together people through regular exchange programs. These connections shape how residents and visitors experience local life with cross-border friendships and shared events.
The town provides good transportation connections to neighboring areas and the Frankfurt region through buses and trains that serve residents and visitors. Schools, shopping facilities, and public services are spread throughout the town and easy to reach.
The former Ray Barracks military grounds are being transformed into a new city district with homes and businesses, showing how old military sites become modern living spaces. Visitors can see traces of this transformation across the town and understand how such places get a second life.
