Heideck Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The town hall in Heideck was built from 1479 to 1481. The late Gothic town hall is a protected monument. It has been used as a town hall since 1851. The stepped gables are particularly remarkable in sandstone construction. The loading hatch with elevator beam is still available.

Stainless steel ostrich watches over the city entrance
The work of art "Vogel Strauß" created by the artist, Sabine Mädl, was installed at a prominent place, the roundabout. Inspired by the head of an iron-eating ostrich in the helmet decoration of the gentlemen of Heideck, the Vogel Strauß now stands at the entrance to the old town.

Historic Town Center of Hilpoltstein

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful city - as soon as you have left the city ring road (it's generally good to cycle here, many cycle paths) you get to a small inner city that is typically Franconian

The beginnings of Hilpoltstein Castle and the town date back to the 10th century. In the 13th and 14th centuries the castle was the seat of the Lords of Stein. In 1354 Hilpoltstein was granted city rights. Two years later, Schweiger von Gundelfingen sold the castle and town of Hilpoltstein to the Wittelsbach dukes Stephan, Johann and Friedrich. When the duchy was divided, Hilpoltstein became part of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. In 1392 Duke Stephan confirmed the city rights.
