Memmingen, Medieval city center in Swabia, Germany.
Memmingen extends along the Ach River with its preserved city walls, gates, towers, and traditional Bavarian architecture spanning multiple centuries.
The settlement received its town charter in 1128 and maintained status as a Free Imperial City from 1286 until 1803 when it joined Bavaria.
The Wallensteinfestspiel brings together 4500 participants every four years to recreate historical events from the Thirty Years' War period.
The central railway station connects Munich and Zurich while the Allgäu Airport serves international flights just outside the city limits.
The Twelve Articles, drafted in Memmingen during 1525, represent the first documented human rights declaration in European history.
