The town Greding is located in the historic old town Altmuehltal Nature Park in Middle Franconia and is a state-approved resort.
background
The oldest traces of settlement in the region date from around 10,000 to 6000 BC. Because of the name ending -ing, a Bavarian settlement in the 8th century AD is suspected. The year of the first documentary mention is 1091.
In the Middle Ages, Greding belonged to the prince-bishops of Eichstätt from 1311 and was the official, court and administrative seat. In 1806 and as a result of the secularization, Greding came with the prince-bishopric and Franconia to Bavaria.
Tourism in the village began in 1936 with the opening of the autobahn, which made the Altmühltal region easily accessible and Greding an important gateway with the autobahn exit.
