Culture of Miltenberg


JuteVilla
�    Worth seeing are the Mildenburg (the local castle), the town museum, the historical Old Town, the Schnatterloch (historical marketplace), the Hotel Zum Riesen (one of Germany�s oldest inns, if not the oldest), the Old Town Hall, the Mainz Gate (Mainzer Tor), the W�rzburg Gate (W�rzburger Tor) and the historical places in the surrounding woods. Right near the Mainz Gate is the Laurentiuskapelle (�Saint Lawrence�s Chapel�) with its abutting graveyard from about the 14th century.

�    Miltenberg lies on the Fr�nkischer Rotwein Wanderweg (�Franconian Red Wine Hiking Trail�), which was established in 1990, and which runs from Gro�wallstadt am Main through Miltenberg to B�rgstadt.

�    A new concept was introduced with the Route der Industriekultur Rhein-Main (�Rhine-Main Industrial Culture Route�), along which industrial building works on the 160 km between Miltenberg and Bingen are linked together into an adventure route about the Industrial Age in southern Germany. Already 700 buildings are scientifically catalogued, including Miltenberg�s old railway station.

�    On the first weekend in July, the Old Town Festival (Altstadtfest) is held.

�    In late July, the Mildenburger Theatertage (�Theatre Days�) take place.

�    Beginning on the last weekend in August and for ten days, the Michaelismesse, the biggest folk festival on the Bavarian Lower Main (Bayerischer Untermain), is held (despite the similarity in names, it is not Michaelmas, which falls on 29 September, a month later)
