Schweinfurt - Schweinfurt

Schweinfurt is in the middle Main Franconia. The former imperial city on Main is a university town, a wine town and advertises itself as an art town. Schweinfurt is the most important industrial city in Northern Bavaria with the highest gross domestic product in Bavaria.

Districts

Schweinfurt is one of the few cities in which no suburbs were incorporated during the regional reform. The agglomeration has a population of around 97,000 (2011 census). The narrow city limits therefore only include the core city with around 20 districts or smaller quarters within city quarters, all of which, with the exception of the port and Main Valley, are north of the Main.

With the one south of the Main Sennfeld the city forms a structural and functional unit.

Tourist Attractions

City of contradictions

The city without the very big historical sights surprises with contrasts and very contrasting quarters, as well as scenic corners.

Enchanted lookout tower

Unfortunately, there is no publicly accessible observation tower for an overview of the city. You only get a limited overview at an enchanted place: A small observation tower is located above the vineyards behind Peterstirn Palace, at the eastern exit of the old B 26 country road towards Haßfurt / Bamberg, above the Main. The steep driveway to this 1200 year old town of Schweinfurt prehistory (see Districts in historical area) can only be reached via the Höllental (turn left from the B 26 beforehand).

You can see the southern city with the two harbor cranes and, if the visibility is good, the entire Steigerwaldkamm with all three Franconian administrative districts. To the right behind the Schwanberg you can see the Kapellberg, 48 kilometers away, above the Middle Franconian wine town of Bullenheim. There is a parking lot just 500 meters further back, where the 2-kilometer high-altitude hiking trail to the village and Mainberg Castle begins.

Old town

Eastern old town, Krumme Gasse

Southern old town, Petersgasse

The western part of the medieval city area, which is largely surrounded by ramparts, is now a mixed city area, while the eastern part around the market square still has the character of an old town.

Misunderstood Keßlergasse

In the narrow Keßlergasse, one of the oldest German pedestrian zones, which leads from the market to the west, everything from good specialist shops to junk stores is represented. This alley with its bazaar character, which unfortunately suffered a loss due to the closure of the market hall, wanted the local retail association to transform it into a “shopping mall” with a glass roof, which fortunately did not happen and in the City Gallery one kilometer further west was implemented more credibly. From around 2016, a major construction site with the first section of the Square crownthat will change a lot here.

The three main quarters are located in the south of the old town Zurich, Southern old town and Fischerrain (please refer Districts).

Zurich

The small, cute quarter is located in the south-east corner of the old town on a flood-proof hill at a right angle between Main Valley and Mariental. From 1310 to 1427 there was an imperial castle of the Henneberger in the corner. There was a small brewery in the neighborhood, that Wallbräu. The over 300 years old Zurich parish fair is the oldest parish fair in Lower Franconia. It takes place in the decorated streets and has a traditional, authentic atmosphere. The landmark of the quarter are the St. Salvator Church (see Churches) and the Ebracher Hof, with a small hotel and restaurant, a stone's throw from the Georg Schäfer Museum (see Museums). The former castle district without great buildings, with its narrow streets, houses and small historical accents is loved by the people of Schweinfurt.

Zurich and Zurich

The name is said to have the same origin as that of the Swiss city Zurich have that used to be too Zurich was called and does not appear anywhere else as a place name. In both cases it is probably derived from the Middle High German word for cow dung. Perhaps here, as there, it is about flood-proof pastures, which are also well suited for first settlements. Because the origins of the city of Zurich were on a hill, today's one Lindenhof. However, recently a newer, more plausible interpretation emerged and derives the name from Castle District from, because even after the castle was razed, the small quarter had a special status as a special rights zone.

Churches

• 50.0461810.232721  St. John's Church. .Martin-Luther-Platz, main Protestant church. The oldest preserved building in the city, with Romanesque components in a side chapel.

The campanile was completed posthumously in 1962. The city was hardly aware of the church for decades and was not even mentioned on many sightseeing lists. That only changed after the building damage had been removed and it was included in the list of monuments.last change: not specified

Buildings

• 50.0514510.253036  Peterstirn Palace. The castle is outside of wine festivals and tastings inaccessible and privately owned by the Dahms winery.

A castle that an industrialist from Schweinfurt had built in the romantic era of the 19th century on the vineyards on the eastern edge of the city. A place steeped in history (see Small city history) at an enchanted end of the city. Nothing for the superficial consumer tourist, only for people with a little imagination. A castle from the 10th century of the once powerful margraves of Schweinfurt, who ruled large parts of southern Germany, used to stand here; the first Schweinfurt castle, in front of the later Reichsburg, the one in the old town quarter two kilometers further to the west Zurich lay. Around 1000 moved to the castle on the Peter's forehead a nunnery and a monastery in the 12th century.last change: not specified

In addition, the city wall has been preserved on the western ramparts at the city theater and art gallery.last change: not specified

• In 2008 the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt named the new city library, into which part of the historic Ebracher Hof was integrated, one of the “24 best buildings in Germany”. At the end of the Maxbrücke, three striking buildings form an entrance to the old town. It is a harmonious, award-winning ensemble that combines history and modernity. On the left the Georg Schäfer Museum (see Museums). In the middle the new main customs office and on the right the converted Ebracher Hof, both by the Berlin architecture firm Bruno Fioretti Marquez. Instead of an extension building next to the historic courtyard, the architects placed an underground base floor under a piazza, which is flanked by a 33-meter-long glass bar, the so-called Lantern. It brings light into the basement of the library and marks the former city wall, the course of which it follows.
• 50.0448310.234789  Old Town Hall. .Market 1 . The town hall is considered a masterpiece of secular German buildings of the early Renaissance and impresses with its proportions. It was built in 1569-1572 by the Halle master builder Nikolaus Hofmann in a transitional style from the late Gothic to the early Renaissance. On the bay tower are the coats of arms of Emperor Maximilian II and the seven electors. In the vaults of the ground floor there is the former market hall, in which today there are temporary exhibitions and the tourist information office. The old city pharmacy is in the left oriel tower. Also worth seeing is the town hall hall, which is only accessible during concerts and events. The town hall remained undamaged during the Second World War until a major fire, which was probably caused by welding work, almost destroyed the town hall on the evening of April 20, 1959. The roof structure was in full flames and the eastern gable wall curved inwards and threatened to fall into the town hall. However, the fire brigades got the fire under control and in the end it was only a roof fire.last change: not specified

Long building history with Mies van der Rohe

Erich Schelling created on behalf of the industrialist Dr. Georg Schäfer came up with a first draft in 1959 to accommodate the already large ones Georg Schäfer Collection. A ski jump at the ramparts was planned as the location, where the city theater was built according to Schelling's plans from 1961 to 1966. In 1960 Mies van der Rohe made a design for another location in the ramparts, in the Fichtelsgarten. This again not realized design was together with a previous design by Mies a prototype for the 1965-1968 New National Gallery West Berlin. Also from Branca (New Pinakothek gallery in Munich) made a draft. Until the former Lord Mayor Gudrun Grieser made two hardships a virtue, removing the stain on an underground car park ruin on which the museum was built. It cost the city nothing, but was financed from privatization proceeds from the Free State of Bavaria and opened in 2000.

An extraordinary museum building by the Berlin architect Volker Staab, which was opened in 2000. The architecture does not impose itself, has neither the arrogance of today's zeitgeist, nor does it want to compete with the surroundings, but brings it into the museum through two loggias and refined views. Timeless, modern architecture that you won't get tired of quickly and that is typical of the new Schweinfurt.

World's largest collection by Carl Spitzweg

The museum is home to the most important private collection of art in the German-speaking area of ​​the 19th century and the world's largest collection by Carl Spitzweg, with 160 paintings and 110 drawings. All known works are by him, with the exception of the Poor poets represented in the museum. The collection has over 100 paintings, gouaches and drawings by Adolph Menzel. In addition, numerous works by Caspar David Friedrich, Max Liebermann, Georg Ferdinand Waldmüller, Wilhelm Leibl, Max Slevogt and others can be seen.

Business-minded Spitzweg

The Bookworm (around 1850) sold well and so Spitzweg painted it a second time in 1851. However, with small, noticeable differences, so that the new work was not mistaken for a copy. This copy hangs in the Central Library of Milwaukee today. In 1854 he painted a third copy, which is probably in a private collection.

Kunsthalle, Rüfferstraße

Kunsthalle, inner courtyard

At the Kunsthalle, as at the Georg Schäfer Museum, Gudrun Grieser also made two hardships a virtue. The Ernst-Sachs-Bad was a large indoor swimming pool by Roderich Fick (1931-1933) from the style epoch of transition from historicism to modernism. It should have been extensively renovated, with all the risks. For example, a leisure pool was built on the area of ​​the existing municipal outdoor pool and the Sachsbad was then converted into an art gallery, which was opened in 2009 and complements the spectrum of the Georg Schäfer Museum. The permanent exhibition "Discourses - German Art after 1945" is shown on 2,000 square meters, combining permanent loans from the Joseph Hierling Collection with works of expressive realism on art between the two world wars, as well as the activities of the MuseumService MuSe and the Kunstverein Schweinfurt e.V.

Streets and squares

Schweinfurt is the city of (market) squares. In the historic city there were a total of five marketplaces for different industries.

Der über zwei Kilometer lange Stadtpark, am Anfang mit Kinderspielplatz, zieht sich vom Südufer des Mains gegenüber der Altstadt aus der Stadt heraus, vorbei an Wasserspielen, großen Biergarten und Bootshäfen des Ruderclubs und Schwimmclubs, bis in den Schweinfurter Mainbogen, mit seinen Weinbergen und Schloss Peterstirn. Schließlich endet er in einem schmalen Wanderweg entlang des Mains, mit Blick auf das mächtige Schloss Mainberg auf der gegenüberliegenden Mainseite mit seinen Weinbergen. Der Wanderweg endet schließlich an der Schonunger Bucht, einer Mainbucht mit Badestrand, die auch mit dem Auto erreichbar ist.

Weinberge

Zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts war Schweinfurt eine bedeutende fränkische Weinbau- und Weinhandelsstadt, mit 320 Hektar Anbaufläche. Viele Bereiche der Stadt befinden sich auf ehemaligen Weinbergen. Auch Goethe schätzte den Schweinfurter Wein, wie aus sieben Goethebriefen hervorgeht und ließ sich von ihm unvorstellbar große Mengen liefern, allein im Jahre 1821 700 Liter. Am Ostrand der Stadt, am Schloss Peterstirn (siehe Buildings) sind noch kleinere historische Weinberge erhalten, mit Natursteinmauern und Gerätehäuschen, die nicht, wie anderswo bei der Flurbereinigung der 1970er Jahre von Bulldozern platt gemacht wurden. Hier finden zwei Weinfeste statt, die zu den schönsten in Franken gehören (siehe Regelmäßige Veranstaltungen).

To go biking

Bei Schweinfurt kreuzen sich drei Radfernwege: der Main-Radweg, der Main-Werra-Radweg und der Werntalradweg. Zudem eignet sich der südliche Landkreis, im z. T. brettflachen Schweinfurter Becken zwischen Stadt und Steigerwald gut zum Radfahren, mit einem dichten Radwegenetz.

Regelmäßige Veranstaltungen

Es gibt eine Reihe von traditionellen Kirchweihen und Weinfesten, wozu sich neuere Feste hinzu gesellten. Die Feste beginnen im April und enden mit einer Unterbrechung im November, mit dem Schweinfurter Weihnachtsmarkt. Es gibt spezielle Festkalender in Druckform. Allein im Stadtgebiet kann man an manchen Wochenenden unter bis zu drei Festen wählen. Leider geht diese Festfolge aus der unübersichtlichen Webseite der örtlichen Tourist Information Schweinfurt 360° nicht deutlich hervor. Die Traditions-Kirchweihen beginnen in der Regel am Donnerstag Abend oder am Freitag und enden am Montag, der eine besondere Bedeutung hat, im Bestreben der Einheimischen, das Wochenende möglichst weit auszudehnen.Der traditionelle Haupt-Ausgehtag für einen Kneipenbummel ist der Donnerstag.

• 50.048310.202317  Schweinfurter Volksfest, Am Volksfestplatz. Eines der größten Volksfeste in Franken. Das Volksfest ist zwar über 100 Jahre alt, hat aber keinen traditionellen Charakter.

Bei guter Sicht kann man alle drei fränkischen Regierungsbezirke sehen. Abends werden die beiden in den Weinbergen liegenden Schlösser Peterstirn und Mainberg angestrahlt. Der Weinberg blieb von der Flurbereinigung verschont und bewahrte seinen historischen Charakter.

• 50.044910.234521  Schweinfurter Weihnachtsmarkt, Marketplace. Geöffnet: Ab dem ersten Adventswochenende bis zum 23. Dezember täglich bis 20:00.last change: not specified

Der Weihnachtsmarkt findet überregional keine Beachtung, was ihm zu Gute kommt. Fehlender Touristenrummel und ausschließlich weihnachtliches, kunstgewerbliches Angebot, ohne Kitsch und übliche Marktware, verleihen dem Weihnachtsmarkt eine besondere, authentische Atmosphäre und machen ihm zum Geheimtipp. Traditionell, seit über 20 Jahren, kommt das Nürnberger Christkind in seinem ersten Termin nach der Eröffnung des Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt nach Schweinfurt. Hier erhält jedes Kind aus der Hand des Christkindes ein Geschenkpaket, was sich glücklicherweise bisher kaum über die Stadtgrenzen hinaus herumgesprochen hat.

shop

Schweinfurt hat zwar die höchste Einzelhandelsfläche pro Einwohner unter allen deutschen Mittel- und Großstädten, was aber weniger an der Innenstadt, als an einer sehr großen Fachmarktagglomeration südlich des Mains im Stadtteil Hafen-Ost liegt. Die Innenstadt, die sich über 1,5 Kilometer (Luftlinie) hinzieht, besitzt drei unterschiedlich strukturierte Einkaufsgebiete, die Altstadt im Osten, die City in der Mitte und die Stadtgalerie in der Weststadt. Die Innenstadt ist mit der Regionalbahn über den DB-Halt Schweinfurt-Mitte gut direkt erreichbar, während man vom weiter entfernten Hauptbahnhof auf Stadtbus oder Taxi umsteigen muss.

• Die Altstadt (zwischen DB-Halt Schweinfurt-Mitte und Bahnhof Schweinfurt-Stadt) um Marktplatz, Spitalstraße und dem weiter westlich gelegenen Georg-Wichtermann-Platz ist zum größten Teil Fußgängerzone, mit kleineren Geschäften, Straßencafés und angenehmen Orten zum Verweilen.
• Die City besteht aus einem unschönen, etwas chaotischen Bereich um den Roßmarkt (Stadtbusbahnhof) und dem weiter westlich gelegenen neugestalteten Jägersbrunnen (siehe Streets and squares); neben Geschäften dominieren hier Kaufhäuser und Banken.
• The Stadtgalerie in der Weststadt (DB-Haltepunkt Schweinfurt-Mitte) ist aus Richtung Roßmarkt über den Jägersbrunnen erreichbar; am Kaufhof links abbiegen und dann die erste Straße rechts.

Vom Marktplatz im Osten bis zur Stadtgalerie in der Weststadt ist man etwa 20 bis 25 Minuten zu Fuß unterwegs; mit dem Stadtbus umständlich, da man am Roßmarkt umsteigen muss; am Marktplatz ist ein Taxi-Stand.

Die Stadt ist vom Wesen her durch und durch süddeutsch. Die Einheimischen, von denen es in der Stadt immer weniger gibt, sind gesprächig und aufgeschlossen (natürlich gibt es auch Ausnahmen) und in den einfacheren Lokalen kann man sich an einen anderen Tisch dazusetzen. Essen und Trinken sind dem Schweinfurter, wie auch allgemein dem Mainfranken, besonders wichtig.

Lokale Spezialitäten

• Original Schweinfurter Schlachtschüssel. Sie ist etwas für den großen Hunger, für größere Personengruppen und steht auf keiner Speisekarte. Ein mehrstündiges Event in sieben Gängen, mit folgender Abfolge: Bauchfleisch − Stich – Bug – Kamm − Kopffleisch mit Zunge, Ohr, Rüssel - Herz und anderen Innereien − Nieren. Die gekochten, gesalzenen und gepfefferten Fleischstücke der Schlachtschüssel (Kesselfleisch) werden auf bis zu 5 Meter langen Holzbrettern serviert, die über den ganzen Tisch reichen, mit Selbstbedienung für die Teilnehmer. Als Beilage gibt es nur Brot, Kren (Meerrettich) und Sauerkraut und zum Trinken Wein, Weinschorle oder Most - Bier ist verpönt. Verbreitet ist die Schlachtschüssel, die erstmals 1856 belegt wurde, in Stadt und Umland. An der bislang größten Schweinfurter Schlachtschüssel, die es nicht in jedem Wirtshaus gibt, nahmen im Jahre 1991, zur 1200-Jahrfeier der Stadt, mehr als 1200 Gäste teil.

• Fränkisches Hochzeitsmenü. Mit gekochtem Mastochsenfleisch, Meerrettichsoße, Bandnudeln und Preiselbeeren. Dazu passt am besten ein trockener, erdiger fränkischer Silvaner.

• Backwaren. In der Stadt gibt es ein traditionell gutes Angebot, vom fränkischen Schwarzbrot im großen Laib (Mischbrot ist bei Kennern verpönt) bis hin zu Sauerteigstölli (Brötchen aus Sauerteig), die man gerne zu fränkischen Bratwürsten mit Sauerkraut isst.

• Im Frühling. Zur Baumblüte fährt man gerne zur nahen Volkacher Mainschleife mit ihren Obstbäumen, Spargelfeldern und Weinbergen, zum typischen Frühjahrsessen, mit frischem Spargel und Frankenwein.

• Im Herbst. Eine saisonale Spezialität zur Federweißen- und Erntedankzeit ist der Zwiebelplootz (Zwiebelkuchen).

• Im Winter. Am südlichen Stadtrand sind die ersten Karpfenteiche. Am nordöstlichen Stadtrand, im Schweinfurter Oberland gibt es bereits Wild- und Bachforellen. Zu den Weihnachtsfeiertagen und Winterwochenenden fährt man gerne aufs Land zum Fisch- und Wildessen.

Sie belebt das legendäre städtische Wirtshaus Schranne am Roßmarkt an einem anderen Ort wieder, an dem sich bereits seit der Zeit um den Ersten Weltkrieg das Gasthaus Zum schwarzen Bären befand. Alter Biergarten mit großen Kastanien. Das Wirtshaus bietet als typische Bierschwemme drei Biere vom Fass an. Mit dem Bamberger Rauchbier der Brauerei Spezial ist es wohl einer der seltenen Orte außerhalb des Bamberger Raums, mit Rauchbier vom Fass. Am Biergarten stand ein Denkmal, das die Stadt Schweinfurt leider an einen anderen Ort versetzte. Hier wurden preußische Soldaten im Deutschen Krieg 1866 vor den Toren der Stadt gestoppt, nachdem der Großraum Schweinfurt nahezu eingekesselt war, aber nie preußisch wurde.Geöffnet: täglich ab 17:00 Uhr, So Rohetag.letzte Änderung: Feb. 2020

Now, a renovation of the old town should bring the quarter back to life from around 2015; a local reopening has already taken place.

accommodation

The price level for accommodation in the city of Schweinfurt and in the immediate vicinity is considered high, one reason being the high occupancy of the beds, especially by business travelers. A good 80 euros are due for accommodation in a mid-range hotel in a double room with breakfast. Even more is possible in terms of price, there is no such thing as a premium hotel. ^[1] During the week it is advisable to reserve a room because of the large number of business travelers.

language

Citizen information is partly held in German, Russian and Turkish.

The dialect plays a smaller role in the multicultural city than it used to and recently you can also hear Standard German. The city and the surrounding area belong to the smallest German dialect main group, the East Franconian, that is about the Palatinate and on in a very narrow corridor through the Odenwald above Main Franconia as far as southern Thuringia. Within this dialect zone in Mainfranken Sea-catching (German Main Franconian) spoken. The shortest sentence is "E Ä ü" (Eng. One egg left). In the soft pronunciation there is no difference between "B" and "P" and between "D" and "T". Spelling in Franconia is more practical than anywhere else in Germany. One speaks of "soft" and "hard B" and of "soft" and "hard D"; instead of the cumbersome spelling "D for Dora" and "T for Theodor".

The Schweinfurt dialect has other peculiarities, with three options for the diminutive form in the plural. Several "little houses" are called for example "Häusle", "Häusli" or "Häuslich" and the elongated rolls are called "Stölli". There are also their own words that nobody in the surrounding area understands. The wheelbarrow is called z. B. Roddbane.
