Beautiful view of the Main from the Friedensbrücke in Würzburg. 🙂
The Friedensbrücke, originally called the Luitpoldbrücke, is a central Main bridge in the city area. It connects the old town of Würzburg on the right bank of the Main with the district of Zellerau on the left bank of the Main. A four-lane road, the route of tram lines 2 and 4 and a footpath and cycle path on both outer sides lead over the bridge.
The bridge was built between 1886 and 1887 according to plans by Joseph Scherpf and is thus the second oldest bridge over the Main in Würzburg after the Old Main Bridge. The last keystone was placed on October 1, 1887. With the 200-meter-long bridge, the new ring road (today Röntgenring) could be continued to the suburb of Zellerau on the left bank of the Main. On April 27, 1888, it was inaugurated as the Luitpoldbrücke, named after Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria. On September 30th, the bridge was opened to traffic with a carriageway width of 10.10 meters. In 1900, the first tram ran over the structure.


Shortly before the end of the Second World War, on April 2nd, 1945 at around 5.15 p.m., the bridge was the last of the three Main bridges that existed in the area of Würzburg's old town to be blown up by German troops in order to delay the Americans' capture of the city. After the three destroyed arches were rebuilt, the bridge was reopened to traffic in November 1948 as the Peace Bridge.

Stettener Stein Vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

Typical of the vineyards in the west of the Lower Franconian Main Triangle between Ochsenfurt, Würzburg and Karlstadt are the steep limestone slopes, which are sometimes reminiscent of mighty fortress walls.

Karlstadt Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Especially in the summer months, the old town is a popular destination for cycle tourists who come to Karlstadt via the Werntal cycle path as well as the Maintal cycle path. The Franconian Marienweg also runs through Karlstadt.

Gemünden Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The place was first mentioned in 1243 in a contract between the Würzburg bishop Hermann I von Lobdeburg and Countess Adelheid von Rieneck. However, it is assumed that Gemünden had already been elevated to a town status by the Counts of Rieneck before 1243. Local tradition goes from a fishing settlement that was the origin of the later city. In 1317, Count Ludwig von Rieneck († 1333) received from Bishop Gottfried III. from Hohenlohe the town and Gemünden Castle.[7] Gemünden was the seat of the Gemünden office. From 1469, Gemünden finally belonged to the Bishopric of Würzburg. From 1500 the Würzburg Bishopric was part of the Franconian Imperial Circle. Prince-Bishop Rudolf II von Scherenberg built it as a bastion against the neighboring territories of Kurmainz and Fulda Monastery. In 1641, Jean Baptiste Budes de Guébriant's army was stationed near Gemünden, some of which had plundered and robbed right up to the gates of Würzburg.[8] As a result of the Imperial Deputation Main Conclusion in 1803, the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg was annexed by Bavaria. Gemünden became a Bavarian district town.

The local Schönau monastery was founded in 1189 by Philipp von Thüngen. A Minorite monastery since 1699, the monks primarily look after the monastery and pilgrimage church.

As part of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818.
