Schwabmünchen

Schwabmünchen is a municipality in Augsburg district situated on a Bavarian landscape at approximately 558 meters elevation. The town contains residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and mixed infrastructure.

First documented in 954 as castellum Mantahinga, the settlement received market town privileges from Emperor Ferdinand I in 1562. City status was granted in 1953.

The annual Michaelimarkt takes place on the last weekend of September, bringing together craftspeople, merchants, and residents. This fair remains a key gathering point where local traditions are celebrated.

The town maintains direct transport connections to Augsburg and offers good access to the regional center. Visitors will find all essential municipal services and facilities located throughout the area.

Two towers called the Hexentürmchen stand beside the town hall, dating from the 16th century and marking medieval architecture and historical jurisdiction areas. These structures often go unnoticed despite being notable features of the town.
