Schweinfurt, Administrative district in Lower Franconia, Germany

The Schweinfurt district spans 842 square kilometers across northern Bavaria, containing 29 municipalities between the Haßberge hills and Spessart mountain range.

The district reorganization in 1972 merged parts of the former Gerolzhofen district into Schweinfurt, creating the current administrative boundaries.

Municipalities within the district maintain traditional Franconian festivals, wine cultivation practices, and regional customs specific to Lower Franconia.

The district offers direct transportation connections to major Bavarian cities through regional trains and the A70 and A71 motorways.

Archaeological teams discovered a 19-centimeter clay figurine from 1000 BCE in 2022, featuring five perforated holes and detailed facial characteristics.
