Simmern, District capital in Hunsrück region, Germany
Simmern sits at 400 meters elevation in the Simmerner Mulde valley, with the Simmerbach River flowing through its old town center.
The settlement received official town rights from Emperor Louis the Bavarian in 1330, transforming it into a regional trade center for merchants.
The Saint Stephen's Evangelical Church, constructed between 1486 and 1510, stands as a central religious structure in the municipality.
The town maintains multiple educational facilities, including primary schools, a gymnasium focusing on mathematics and natural sciences, and vocational training institutions.
The Schinderhannes Tower, formerly the Powder Tower, contains the cell where notorious robber Johannes Bückler was imprisoned in 1799.
