Weiden in der Oberpfalz

Weiden extends across 68 square kilometers of Bavarian landscape, featuring a central marketplace divided into upper and lower sections at 397 meters elevation.

The settlement, first documented in 1241, developed into a trading center due to its position at the intersection of major commercial routes.

The International Ceramic Museum houses collections reflecting the region's manufacturing traditions of glass, porcelain, and pottery through different periods.

The central train station connects travelers to Nuremberg, Regensburg, and Munich, while local bus lines serve the urban districts of Hammerweg and Altstadt.

The Protestant Church of St Michael contains an 18th-century altarpiece depicting the birth of Christ within its rococo interior decorations.
