Creglingen, Medieval town in Main-Tauber-Kreis, Germany.
Creglingen spans across 117 square kilometers of land, encompassing twelve districts including Archshofen, Blumweiler, and Frauental at 278 meters elevation.
Emperor Karl IV granted Creglingen its town charter in 1349, establishing its status as an independent municipality within the German territories.
The Herrgottskirche houses the Marienaltar, an 11-meter wooden altarpiece crafted by renowned sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider in the late Gothic period.
Visitors can reach Creglingen through regional roads connecting to major cities, with accommodations and restaurants available throughout the twelve districts.
A communion wafer discovery in 1384 transformed the Herrgottskirche into a pilgrimage destination, preserving its religious artifacts through centuries.
