Infrastructure, economy and tourism

Waterway: The Main is a first-order federal waterway , responsible for the Aschaffenburg Waterways and Shipping Office.

Road: The federal highway 3 Nuremberg - Frankfurt runs in an east-west direction and intersects the state roads 2299 and 2315 running in the north-south direction in the Altfeld district, with the federal highway 8 running through the urban area serving as a feeder road .

Public transport: A densely developed bus network operated by the Mainfranken transport association connects the city and the surrounding area. A city bus runs internally on a north and a south line. Both lines have the start and finish point ZOB. In 2010 over 30,000 passengers were counted. In addition to the city bus tariffs, you can also take the regional regular service from the city center to the districts or vice versa.

There is a glider airfield in the Altfeld district.

Railway: The Lohr am Main – Wertheim line was put into operation on October 1, 1881 by the Bavarian State Railways and led on the other side of the Main past Marktheidenfeld, where the train station was. The train station in Marktheidenfeld was the largest between the start and end stations. The line itself was single-track, but the station in Marktheidenfeld had a spacious freight station with loading ramps and was up to seven tracks wide. Passenger traffic between Lohr Stadtbahnhof and Wertheim was suspended on May 30, 1976. Today the Main Valley Cycle Path runs along many parts of the old railway line.

Companies such as Warema, founded in Marktheidenfeld in 1955, Braun, established in 1961, and Schleunungdruck, founded in 1949, expanded several times and created large numbers of jobs. Other companies followed, such as Elau (now part of Schneider Electric), Hilite, Okalux, Del Monte and Cummins.

Attractions

Franck House

Franck House - exterior view

The Franck House is a richly decorated, light blue town house from the Baroque era, built in 1745, and one of the city's most important sights.

The builder was the wine merchant and businessman Franz Valentin Franck (1702–1777). To do this, he widened two existing half-timbered houses and combined them into one building with a round-arched gate that leads into an inner courtyard. In the basement of the buildings grouped around the inner courtyard were the Weinkontor rooms, above which there were apartments; later a ballroom was set up there. There is also the "red salon" with stucco. Franck sold the building in 1767, and after various changes of ownership, it has been in the city's hands since 1987. It was renovated from 1994 to 1998 .

On the façade, under a stucco canopy carried by angels, stands a sandstone Maria Immaculata . She holds a gilded lily scepter in her right hand and crushes the serpent (symbol of original sin). The wedges of the windows in the basement carry the four continents to the left of the portal and the four seasons to the right of the portal. On the capitals of the archway are two lions with shields, which document the year of construction 1745 and the initials of the client - FVF.

During the restoration, which was Smalte -blaue color of the facade , the most expensive for the edification time color restored. Today the house is used for exhibitions. Weddings take place regularly in the ballroom.

The old wine cellar (dated 1620) with large wine barrels is accessible from the courtyard, which is more than a century older than the Franck House.

Permanent exhibitions are the “smallest library in the world”, a collection of small-scale writing art from Valentin Kaufmann's estate, the Schauschmiede, an old blacksmith's workshop set up in the courtyard, and an information room on the life and work of the painter and artisan Hermann Gradl.

St. Lawrence Church

The St. Laurentius Church has been built over and over again for over 700 years. A total of four construction phases can be distinguished in the Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Neo-Baroque styles. The styles of the respective time were always harmoniously incorporated into the old building. With many art-historical finds, including medieval frescoes in the choir and two grave slabs from the 16th century, the church is like a history book of the city. After the Second World War, the Otto bell foundry in Bremen-Hemelingen cast five bronze bells with the chimes: des - es - f - b and a total weight of around 6 tons for the St. Laurentius Church in 1951.
