Tips

Winding alleys lead past old city gates such as the Brunnentor and the Würzburger Tor, along the city wall, to the town hall, the town fountain, and up to the castle ruins that stand watch over everything. Between the walls lies the Kern House, birthplace of Sophie Scholl, a quiet place of remembrance.

Floral decorations, cobblestones, and small squares invite you to linger – whether in the Amtsgarten (official garden), at the cemetery church, or in one of the cozy restaurants. The old town tells of centuries of life, change, and home – and welcomes its visitors with open doors and quiet charm.

Forchtenberg is a town in the Hohenlohe district in the Franconian-influenced northeast of Baden-Württemberg. It belongs to the Heilbronn-Franconia region (until May 20, 2003 the Franconian region). Today's town of Forchtenberg was created in 1971/1972 through the incorporation and merger of the towns of Forchtenberg and Sindringe as well as the communities of Ernsbach, Muthof and Wohlmuthausen.
