Neustadt -Bad Windsheim

Neustadt an der Aisch is an administrative district in Middle Franconia comprising 38 municipalities across varied landscapes. Forests, hills, and river valleys shape the terrain throughout the region.

The district was created in 1972 when three separate administrative areas merged into one unified region. This reorganization transformed how the area was governed and organized.

The district's emblems reflect medieval ruling powers that shaped the region's identity. These symbols appear in local traditions and architecture throughout the area's villages.

The district is spread across multiple villages connected by local roads and smaller routes. Most communities have parking near their centers, and larger settlements offer restaurants and basic services.

The Aisch River flows through the district from southwest to northeast, shaping the region's agricultural character. Local fish farming, particularly carp cultivation, has long shaped the economy and daily life of communities along this waterway.
