Neustadt -Bad Windsheim

The district spans over 1,267 square kilometers of varied terrain, including parts of Steigerwald and Frankenhöhe nature parks with forests and hills.

The district formed in 1972 through the consolidation of three previous districts: Neustadt, Uffenheim, and Scheinfeld, marking a shift in regional administration.

The district coat of arms displays regional heritage through symbols including a dog from Nuremberg margraves and an eagle from the Hohenzollern dynasty.

The district contains 38 municipalities and maintains a population of 103,654 residents, with Neustadt an der Aisch serving as its administrative center.

The Aisch River flows through the district from southwest to northeast, supporting local fish farming, particularly the cultivation of Aischgrund carp.
