Donaueschingen, Historical town in Black Forest, Germany
Donaueschingen stands where the Brigach and Breg rivers merge to form the Danube, marked by a spring in the castle gardens.
The town received its first mention as Esginga in 889, and Heinrich von Fürstenberg obtained brewing rights from Rudolf von Habsburg in 1283.
The Donaueschingen Festival, established in 1921, continues to be a primary venue for contemporary classical music performances in Germany.
The town serves as a transportation hub with four converging rail lines and direct connections to major cities through the A864 motorway.
The Fürstenberg Library holds original copies of five Mozart operas, contributing to the study of historical music performance practices.
