Lauda-Königshofen

Lauda-Königshofen is a town formed from two settlements along the Tauber River, spread across twelve district subdivisions. It features a network of traditional buildings and structures reflecting its long development over several centuries.

The area traces its origins to Celtic times, with the settlement of Lauda gaining city status in the 14th century and market privileges shortly after. These early rights enabled it to develop into a regional trading point.

The town's identity centers on its wine-making tradition and the way residents have long connected their daily lives to the surrounding vineyards and agricultural landscape. Walking through the streets, you notice how this heritage shapes the appearance and character of the community.

Two railway stations serve the area with connections that make reaching other German cities straightforward by public transport. The position within the Main-Tauber region allows easy access to neighboring towns and attractions.

A large local festival draws roughly 150,000 visitors for ten days of regional celebration with food, entertainment, and community activities. This gathering shows how tradition continues to shape public life and brings people together across generations.
