Erlach Water Castle is a medieval moated castle in the center of Erlach, now a district of Ochsenfurt in Lower Franconia. The castle was built in the 12th century by the Lords of Erlach. The first recorded mention dates back to 1151. In the 14th century, a new building was constructed on the site of the original structure. During the German Peasants' War, the castle was destroyed in 1525 and not rebuilt until after 1545. Over the course of its history, it, like the population of the surrounding village, passed into the possession of various Lower Franconian ruling families. The Lords of Seinsheim ruled for about 200 years, followed by the Counts of Schwarzenberg for about 150 years. The property was eventually sold to the Catholic Church for the symbolic price of one thaler. At the beginning of the 19th century, the castle was expanded, and the school and teacher's quarters were housed there. Source: Wikipedia

Economic development led to a change in the labor market. Jobs such as sand scooping,[8] unskilled work in river shipping, and agricultural jobs disappeared. They were increasingly replaced by industrial jobs and jobs in the service sector (administration, tourism). As American troops approached during World War II, the Volkssturm secured the gates of the city fortifications with tree barriers. When the imminent departure of District Leader Stoll became known, numerous women marched to the district leadership on March 29, 1945 (Maundy Thursday), demanding the opening of the city gates and the surrender of the city without a fight. In the afternoon, despite threats of execution, they cleared all the barricades at the Bollwerk, as the fortified gate on the banks of the Main was called[9]. First, the children unnoticed loosened the soil and dug stones out of the ground; then the women removed the stones with a human chain and used ropes to pick out the loosened trunks. In the end, the men of Ochsenfurt supported the women's civil courage with rifles. As the Nazi administration fled, they looted a supply depot in the basement of the NSDAP district headquarters; several men defused stored anti-tank grenades. The central arch of the old Main Bridge was blown up on March 31, 1945, by a Wehrmacht pioneer commando.[10] The city surrendered without a fight, leaving the old town undamaged. By Easter Sunday, the city was occupied by the Americans. Former mayor Peter Wesselowsky (SPD) dedicated a memorial to the courageous women of Ochsenfurt at the Bollwerk. Source: Wikipedia

Beautiful moated castle, unfortunately without water.

Ochsenfurt is a small town in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg and is located in the southern Main triangle.

A particularly pretty old town. Beautiful half-timbered buildings and narrow, picturesque streets.
