    Until January 31, 2020, the geographical center of the EU was located in Westerngrund. Now this center is in Gadheim near Veitshöchheim, still in Lower Franconia.

    In the years following the 2013 EU enlargement (with Croatia), the center was in Westerngrund (Lower Franconia).
    After Brexit in 2020 (when the UK left the EU), the center shifted slightly – it is now near Gelnhausen (Hesse).
