The Schwarzviertel, the oldest part of Miltenberg with many beautiful half-timbered houses, is the area between "Schwertfeger Tor" and the market square. In the winter months the sun hardly comes over the Grauberg, hence the name "Schwarzviertel". The oldest house in town, however, is on Hauptstraße and not in the Schwarzviertel.

The town of Miltenberg developed under the protection of the Mildenburg since the beginning of the 13th century. The city prospered because the red sandstone from the surrounding mountains was in great demand among builders and was easy to ship on the Main. The magnificent half-timbered buildings in the old town can still tell you about it today. You can also still see a large part of the old city wall and its defensive towers.

Beautiful old town with many half-timbered houses and a town hall from the 13th century
The gas house "Zum Giant" in the middle, you can not miss on a city visit, is the oldest gas house in Germany. At least it is advertised that way.
