Holy Spirit Church, Schweinfurt

Highlight • Religious Site

The Hospital Church of the Holy Spirit was built in the middle of the 15th century and almost completely destroyed in 1554 (second city ruin). It was rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 16th century and in the Neo-Romanesque style from 1897 to 1902. The main portal with the figure of King David and the representation of the first Pentecost, the two side portals (Prophet Zacharias and the baptism of Christ as well as the Annunciation scene) and the tower with a tall statue of Mary are worth seeing. There are four altars inside the church.

Old Cemetery, Schweinfurt

Highlight • Historical Site

By the end of 2009, the old cemetery opposite the Heilig-Geist-Kirche in Schweinfurt was somewhat neglected and overgrown. But it was decided, taking historical documents into account, to restore the facility - and: it worked!

The run-of-river power plant was built as a result of the barrage expansion of the Main from Schweinfurt to Bamberg. This section was opened to traffic in 1962 as a large shipping route (federal waterway). The power plant went into operation a year later and has two Kaplan turbines with a total output of 3.8 MW.
