history
The old town until the fortress status was abolished
Until the fortress status of the legal main part of the city of Würzburg was abolished on September 26, 1856 by King Max II , the old town was the center of the city's history. Although the Marienberg fortress , which is now in Zellerau , was heavily involved in the story, the focus was still on the old town of Würzburg.
From the abolition of the fortress status until today
During the bombing raid on Würzburg on March 16, 1945 , almost 90% of the old town was destroyed. It was also the most badly damaged district. The reconstruction was largely completed in 1970.
religion
Most of the Würzburg churches are located in the Altstadt district. These include the Würzburg Cathedral , the Neumünster , the Marienkapelle and the Augustinian Monastery in Würzburg . Evangelical churches include St. Stephan , the Johanniskirche and the Deutschhauskirche . The Catholic churches in all of Würzburg form the Würzburg City Deanery . Evangelical churches belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Deanery Würzburg and thus to the Ansbach-Würzburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria .
