Schwabach, Medieval district capital in Middle Franconia, Germany
The municipality of Schwabach stretches across 40 square kilometers of Bavarian land, containing four districts and maintaining an elevation of 326 meters.
In 1371, Schwabach received its municipal status, followed by the construction of significant landmarks including the town church in 1469 and city hall in 1528.
The local museum exhibits regional artifacts and holds a collection of decorated eggs, including a notable Fabergé specimen representing centuries of craftsmanship.
The city connects to major routes A3, A6, and A9, with a train station providing direct access to Nuremberg and other regional transportation networks.
Local typesetters developed the Schwabacher font in 1500, which gained recognition through its use in the first German translation of the Bible.
