Duration: 8 h
Firstly we will visit to the Wertheim was founded between the 7th and 8th century. However, the first settlement was a town called Kreuzwertheim on the right bank of the river Main. From the early 12th century onwards, a branch of the noble family of the Reginbodons called themselves after the town. After the family of the Counts of Wertheim had built a castle on the left bank of the river Main, a settlement developed at the foot of this dominating structure that was called Wertheim.It was mentioned for the first time in 779. In 1192, it was referred to as Suburbium castri Wertheim and in 1200 the town was referred to as an oppidum and in 1244 as a civitas. Count Eberhard of Wertheim reigned from the year 1355 to 1373. In 1363 Emperor Charles IV granted him by degree the right to mint coins. The last Count of Wertheim was Michael III. Up until the 15th Century, no less than 18 city gates served as entrances into Wertheim. Today,  you  can still see three of them  –  the Maintor, the Zolltor and the Kittsteintor along the banks of the Tauber. Directly behind the  Maintor lies  the historic city centre, located at the confl uence of the Main and Tauber rivers. On a walk through the city, you will pass through narrow alleyways and picturesque courtyards, and encounter magnifi cent bourgeois houses, unique half-timbered houses, which characterise the im-age of Wertheim and can sometimes be traced back to the 16th Century, as well as buildings that bear distinguished names and tell illustrious stories. At the same time, Wertheim also has an unmistakeably modern character – as a living, dynamic town on the move, as an economic centre, and of course as a shopping haven! During our visit you can see established in 1406, the cemetery of the former Jewish community is one of the oldest in Germany, the Castle Wertheim which is not just one of the most imposing stone castles in Southern Germany, but also the town’s landmark. The 12th Century ruins sit enthroned above the Main, Tauber and Old Town and allow visitors to immerse themselves in hundreds of  years of history. Next we will visit to the Wertheim Village Outlet where you can discover a relaxed shopping haven at Wertheim Village. The cozy, village-themed, open-air outlet offers sophisticated boutiques, attentive service, and warm, unhurried atmosphere. All in all, this makes the outlet mall a worthwhile place to visit for those who love to shop.
