Gemünden am Main

Gemünden am Main is a town where the Main, Sinn, and Franconian Saale rivers meet in Bavaria. It spreads across both riverbanks at an elevation of 160 meters with views of the surrounding countryside.

The town first appears in written records in 1243 through an agreement between Prince-Bishop Hermann I of Lobdeburg and Countess Adelheid of Rieneck. This document marks the beginning of its known history as a fortified trading settlement.

The Scherenburgfestspiele theater festival brings performances to the summer months using medieval castle ruins as a natural backdrop for its shows. These events shape local cultural life and draw regular visitors to the area.

The railway station is a central hub where the north-south line from Fulda to Würzburg meets east-west connections. This makes the town easily accessible and well-connected to surrounding regions.

The Film-Photo-Tone Museum in Huttenschloss holds an extensive collection of historical recording equipment that documents regional audiovisual technology developments. This collection preserves an often-overlooked chapter of local technological history.
