Kitzingen is a town in the German state of Bavaria. Surrounded by vineyards, Kitzingen County is the largest wine producer in Bavaria. It is said to be Franconia's wine trade center.
Historical center of the still well-preserved medieval old town with its unmistakable, many-towered silhouette forms despite many destructions and changes in the market square, a closed monumental ensemble of business and town houses.
The market square represents a spatial extension of the medieval Main thoroughfare of Kitzingen aimed at the Alte Mainbrücke. The so-called Poganietzhaus, a richly decorated 16th-century Renaissance half-timbered house, has survived from the original gable house development (Marktstraße 26) Today the Conditorei Museum is located.
The marketplace is dominated by the Renaissance town hall of the master craftsman Eckhart von Schaffhausen, which was completed in 1563, and by the 39 meter high market tower, a former defense tower of the inner city fortifications from the 13th and 14th centuries with a first floor from 1546, later called Urban Watchtower served today and houses the Central Archive of the German carnival. At the market tower above the surrounding business buildings from the early 19th century even the former pillory can be seen. The Kitzinger Elle in the form of a metal measure, which is attached to the square facing the square of the town hall, reminiscent of the former function of the square as the main market of the city.
