Cham, District capital in Bavaria, Germany
The city sits along the Regen River in the Upper Palatinate region, surrounded by the northern slopes of the Bavarian Forest near the Czech border.
The settlement emerged around an imperial castle in 976, serving as a strategic point for protecting trade routes leading into the neighboring region of Bohemia.
The Marienmünster, established by Regensburg monks in the 8th century at Chammünster, stands as the oldest church structure in the Bavarian Forest region.
The central railway station provides direct connections to major cities including Munich, Regensburg, and Nuremberg, with regular regional services to surrounding areas.
The city minted its own currency called the Cham Denar around the year 1000, demonstrating its economic importance during the medieval period.
