With the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, a small village in Lower Franconia has moved to the center of the community of states. The EU center has been located in a field in Gadheim since the beginning of the year
On January 31st of this year, the special feature of the Bavarian community of Westerngrund in the Aschaffenburg district was over: it was no longer the geographical center of the European Union. The community had this unofficial title from July 1, 2013: The EU center was initially in the Oberwestern district, and from the beginning of 2014 about 500 meters further south, after the French overseas department of Mayotte, a group of islands northwest of Madagascar, became part of the EU became.

Current geographical center of the European Union
Since the United Kingdom left the EU on January 31, 2020, the geographical center of the EU has been in the Würzburg district, in the Gadheim district of the Franconian municipality of Veitshöchheim Welt-Icon. It is marked by a paved roundabout, the EU flag and a shell limestone boulder that was erected at the calculated point. On top of this sits a white and red ringed pole, a ranging rod like the one used by surveyors.
