Schweinfurt

The city extends along the Main River at 226 meters elevation, with fourteen distinct districts including the central Altstadt and residential Gartenstadt neighborhoods.

First documented in 791, Schweinfurt gained prominence as a Free Imperial City in the Holy Roman Empire from the 12th century until 1802.

The Museum Georg Schäfer contains an extensive collection of 19th-century German paintings and maintains regular exhibitions throughout the year.

The central location provides access to three German states within 40 kilometers, connecting to Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, and Thuringia through multiple transportation routes.

The city maintains its position as a global center for bearing manufacturing, with major facilities from companies like SKF and Schaeffler contributing to industrial output.
