This castle also deserves attention.

There are some really huge machines here.

The Judentor (Jew's Gate) is one of three surviving city gates in Coburg. The gate tower marked the western boundary of the city center and was part of the inner city wall. The city gate, probably built in the early 13th century, was first documented in 1321 as the Judentor (Jew's Gate). The gate tower was built on the floodplain of the Itz River. The name Judentor (Jew's Gate) refers to the Jewish community of Coburg, which was located west of the Judentor in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Nice place to linger with a beautiful view of the castle square and the Ehrenburg

When the water crowfoot blooms in summer, as here under the Main Bridge near Staffelstein, it's a sign of good water quality. It's a prerequisite for the aquatic plant to spread. There are apparently larger populations of water crowfoot along this stretch of the Main. The plant needs a gravel bed and a relatively moderate flow rate to thrive. The perennial plant, with its white-yellow flowers, gives a lot back to the river: It provides oxygen, a refuge for young fish, and food for insects like the rare demoiselle damselflies with their blue-black wings.

The Spenglersbrunnen (Spengler Fountain) stands on the southeast side of Coburg's market square at the corner of Ketschengasse. The fountain was built as a wooden structure in 1550 in front of the property of citizen Spengler. Since 1621, it has been a stone fountain, which was rebuilt in 1673. The Spenglersbrunnen drew its water from the Pilgramsroth stream, and from 1670 onward, it was piped via the Rückertbrunnen (Reckert Fountain). Today, it is fed by the water mains. Renovations were carried out in 1980 and 2005. The octagonal box fountain has a fountain head formed as a baluster with a pearl bar and a leaf wreath. A spout is present on the front. The basin wall is decorated with, among other things, a relief depicting a lion and a Moor's head. On the column stands a stone lion holding two shields depicting the city's coat of arms, a lion and a Moor's head.

The Judentor (Jewish Gate) in Coburg is one of the city's three surviving city gates. It was built in the early 13th century and first documented in 1321 as the "Judentor" (Jewish Gate). The name derives from Coburg's Jewish community, which was located west of the gate in the 14th and 15th centuries. The alley leading from the market to the Judentor (Jewish Gate) was referred to as "Judengasse" (Juden Lane) in the Coburg town register in 1394. The Judentor once secured the western entrance to the inner city wall. Over the centuries, it underwent structural changes; for example, in 1721, it received a curved, slated dome with a lantern. In 1858, the outer gate was demolished. During the Nazi era, the Judentor was renamed "Markttor" (Market Gate) in 1938, but after 1945, it regained its original name. Today, the Judentor is an important historical monument in Coburg and commemorates the long history of the Jewish community in the city.
