Schweinfurt

　　Schweinfurt is a district-free city in Bavaria, Germany, and also the capital of the district of Schweinfurt. It is the third-largest city in the administrative region of Lower Franconia, after Würzburg and Aschaffenburg, and one of the cities with the highest population density in Germany.

　　To this day, Schweinfurt remains a hub of the European ball bearing industry and is also an art metropolis, with galleries and museums adding to its metropolitan reputation. The city still exudes a contrasting atmosphere, where modern and fashionable vibes blend with centuries-old architecture. Currently brimming with vitality, its residents take pride not only in their achievements and evolving image but also in their pioneering spirit rooted in tradition. The Town Hall, located next to the Market Square, stands as a powerful testament to the pre-industrial era of Schweinfurt and is one of the city’s most important and beautiful historic buildings. Fully dedicated to art exhibitions, the Georg Schäfer Museum houses one of Germany’s most significant private collections of paintings, with a focus on works from the late Rococo period through Classicism and Romanticism to Impressionism.

　　The Museum Georg Schäfer is also an outstanding example of museum architecture. The Otto Schäfer Museum boasts a collection of a thousand illustrated prints, while the Old Gymnasium Museum vividly recreates the history of Schweinfurt.
