Discover Segnitz: Weinhalla and Horticulture

Segnitz: Views and Horticulture

Segnitz combines sweeping views of the landscape with a horticultural side. Weinhalla is a pavilion with views as far as the Steigerwald. Alongside the landscape views, horticulture is also a local theme. The two features offer different starting points for planning your trip: at Weinhalla, the views take centre stage, while the garden areas highlight how the land is used. If you would like to get to know a place through its landscape and local character, Segnitz offers two clearly distinct perspectives.

Segnitz has 50 hectares of garden space, around ten percent of which is covered with glasshouses or plastic sheeting. This figure gives local horticulture a concrete scale, while remaining deliberately approximate. Glasshouses and plastic sheeting cover part of the garden areas, while the views at Weinhalla offer a different way to experience the character of the place. Together, these details paint a picture that is not limited to a viewpoint or to cultivation alone.

Kitzingen: Architectural History in Towers, a Bridge and the Town Hall

In the wider destination of Kitzingen, historic buildings tell of different periods and purposes. The Falterturm, formerly called “Falltorturm”, was built between 1469 and 1496 as a watchtower in the outer town wall. The Old Main Bridge, also known as “Pippinsbrücke”, has medieval origins and was first mentioned in a document in 1300. The prominent town hall, built in the 16th century by Hans Eckart von Schaffhausen in the Renaissance style, stands in the market square. The Marktturm is 39 metres high, originally formed part of the inner town wall, and served as a watchtower and a prison.

The two towers can be distinguished by their former locations and functions: the Falterturm was part of the outer town wall, while the Marktturm belonged to the inner wall. Both served as watchtowers; the Marktturm also served as a prison. The bridge and town hall complement this picture with their medieval origins and Renaissance architecture, respectively. Kitzingen thus offers several concrete points of interest for anyone interested in architectural history.
