    The old town of Weissenburg is the historic center of the former imperial city of Weissenburg, a large district town in the Middle Franconian district of Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen. The historic city center is a Bodendenkmal and is under ensemble protection. The old town corresponds to the area within the city wall and its up to 30 meters wide ditch, which is partially filled or still filled with water.

      The old town of Weissenburg extends between the town customs house of the Ellinger Tor in the north and a defensive tower of the Schießgrabenmauer in the south.

        The historic old town is extremely worth seeing. For five centuries Weißenburg as a Free Imperial City was only subordinate to the Emperor, today buildings such as the city fortifications with 38 towers and the Imperial City Museum testify to its heyday. The old walls of the city are not only impressive sights themselves, but also offer space for popular and well-known cultural events.
