Schweinfurt

Schweinfurt is the birthplace of the poet, orientalist and scholar Friedrich Rückert (1788-1866). In the middle of the town square an imposing monument rises for the perhaps most famous son of the city. Rückert himself looks at the historic town hall from the Renaissance period and the hustle and bustle in the city. At the southeast corner of the town square you can see the birthplace of Friedrich Rückert.
