1.

The old town includes the area of the independent city of Schweinfurt that dates back to the Middle Ages. It should not be confused with the so-called old town village. The old town is identical to district 11 and belongs to the city center district, which also includes districts 12 and 13.[2] The old town lies east of these two districts. It is viewed by locals as an independent district because it has completely different structures than the districts 12 and 13, which predominantly come from the Wilhelminian era.

The city wall is still preserved in several sections or has been partially reconstructed.

2. The old town is largely framed by the city wall, parts of which are still preserved or partially reconstructed, and by ring structures. The oldest (eastern) part of the old town with the market square and crossroads forms a classic medieval town complex, which is why it is probably a founding town. Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa probably had it built as a Civitas Imperii (Imperial City) in the 12th century, in competition with the existing settlement further east, the village of Altstadt. The imperial city of Schweinfurt was first confirmed in a document by King William of Holland in 1254.
