Historic Old Town, Weißenburg and City Fortifications with Lakeside Walk The buildings in Weißenburg exude the self-confidence of an imperial city—no wonder, given Weißenburg's rich history. Today, they form the backdrop for diverse cultural events. For five centuries, Weißenburg was a Free Imperial City, subject only to the Emperor; today, buildings such as the city fortifications with their 38 towers and the Imperial City Museum bear witness to its heyday. The city's ancient walls are not only impressive sights in their own right, but also provide space for popular and well-known cultural events: The concert series "Musica Biriciana - Music in Ancient Walls" and the summer festival on the magnificent natural stage of the Bergwaldtheater are part of the "Musical Magic of Franconia" festival. The renowned "Franconian Summer - Musica Franconia" also regularly visits the city. History of a Free Imperial City At its heart, Weißenburg has retained the character of a former Free Imperial City. First mentioned in a document (in Latin) in 867, the Franconian royal court, where Charlemagne is said to have stayed in 793 on the occasion of the construction of the "Fossa Carolina," first became a Salian, then a Hohenstaufen estate, and in the 11th century, a walled city. The existence of the first coat of arms in 1241 manifests the emergence of municipal self-government. By 1296 at the latest, Weißenburg was one of only six Free Imperial Cities in present-day Franconia. Following the example of the Imperial City of Nuremberg, Weißenburg joined the "Confessio Augustana" in 1530. The construction of the Wülzburg Fortress from 1588 and the Thirty Years' War affected Weißenburg in many ways. In 1802, the city lost its imperial freedom, first passing to the Electorate of Bavaria, then to Prussia, and finally to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806. Even today, evidence of this remains includes, among others, the following: The largely preserved city fortifications with 38 towers and the only remaining city gate – the Ellinger Tor – with the Hohenstaufen Imperial Eagle in the center and the two city coats of arms from 1241 and 1481 respectively; the Imperial (Old) Town Hall (1470-80); the St. Andrew's Church, the Hospital Church, and the Carmelite Church from the city's great era, when the "wings of the eagle," i.e. the emperor, still nominally ruled over it.

St. Andrew's Church, Weißenburg Construction History of St. Andrew's Church 1182 - The first church is built, probably on the foundations of a chapel that belonged to the royal court. 1290 - The church is demolished again to make way for a new building. 1294 - Construction begins on the new building, which is completed and consecrated in 1327. St. Andrew's Church at that time includes the nave and the north tower. 1400 - Around the turn of the century, the citizens of Weißenburg begin another new building. This time they want to build a church modeled on St. Sebaldus in Nuremberg. Because the city wall limits the square, this building is to be aligned differently than the existing one. 1425 - The late Gothic choir is completed and consecrated. But now the city runs out of money. So the (new) choir is connected to the (old) nave. This is how St. Andrew's Church takes on its present form with its shifted axis. 1459 - The first stone for the tower is laid. 1465 - The present baptistery is consecrated. It forms a single architectural unit with the Bridal Portal and the St. Michael's Chapel above it. 1520 - After more than sixty years of construction, the tower is completed. Contrary to all custom, it is located in front of the choir. 1850 - In the course of a belated "iconoclasm," the valuable furnishings from pre-Reformation and later periods are squandered. 1891 - The nave is raised and receives the mezzanine. 1958 - The final renovation. The church is largely restored to its original Gothic appearance.

Monument at Martin Luther Square, Weißenburg Today, the monument is an integral part of Martin Luther Square, but it hasn't always been here. Thirty years of dispute and discussion passed before the statue was finally placed in its final location. The sculptor wanted to place his statue where it stands today, but at that time, cars were still parked in front of the church. Therefore, the administration refused to approve this location. The donor then suggested placing it on a meadow near the west portal of the church. There, the Luther statue would be placed on a pedestal with a reference to the donor. However, the sculptor opposed this pedestal, arguing that "his" Luther shouldn't be placed on anything. The reformer saw himself as a man of the people who didn't want to be enthroned above the people. The sculptor even almost wanted to take the monument back because the donor and artist disagreed. Fortunately, both parties were able to agree on the sidewalk next to the west portal, and the pedestal was also omitted. Until 2013, Luther stood on this sidewalk. However, since the people of Weißenburg were dissatisfied with this location, the monument was moved to its original location, where it belongs, after Martin Luther Square was made car-free. Incidentally, it is not at all certain whether Martin Luther ever actually visited Weißenburg, as there are no sources to support this. However, it is very likely that the reformer traveled through Weißenburg on his trip to Rome in 1510/11. Even if Luther may not have been to Weißenburg personally, he still had a profound influence on the city's history.
