Grafenwöhr, Urban municipality in Neustadt an der Waldnaab, Bavaria, Germany.
Located in eastern Bavaria, Grafenwöhr spans across 31 square kilometers and maintains a population of 6,710 residents at an elevation of 410 meters.
The settlement originated in the 9th century and transformed significantly when Prince Luitpold selected it as a military training ground for the Bavarian Army in 1907.
The town integrates both German and American influences due to the presence of Tower Barracks, creating a multicultural community in the Upper Palatinate region.
