Kronach, Administrative district in Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany.
The district of Kronach covers 651 square kilometers of terrain, containing 18 municipalities and spreading across the Franconian Forest nature park.
The district formed in 1931 through the merger of Kronach and Teuschnitz districts, following centuries of control by the Bishopric of Bamberg from 1102 to 1803.
The district's coat of arms displays two lions representing Bamberg and Orlamünde, along with a wheel symbolizing the water mills along its rivers.
The district maintains direct transport connections to neighboring regions through major roads and railways, with vehicle registration codes KC and SAN.
Within the district boundaries, the Kronach River flows southward through multiple municipalities before joining the Main River system beyond its borders.
