Lauda-Königshofen

Lauda-Königshofen combines two settlements along the Tauber River, featuring traditional houses from the 16th to mid-19th centuries across twelve municipal subdivisions.

The settlement emerged from Celtic origins, with Lauda receiving its township charter in the 14th century and market rights in the following century.

The Königshöfer Messe, a 500-year-old festival, brings together 150,000 visitors during a ten-day celebration of regional traditions and community spirit.

The town maintains two railway stations connecting to the Tauber Valley Railway and Franconia Railway, offering transportation links to major German cities.

Local vineyards on the hills along the Tauber Valley produce wines characteristic of the region, contributing to the area's agricultural identity.
