Memmingen

Built around a medieval trading settlement, Memmingen grew into a former Free Imperial City in Bavarian Swabia. The town lies on the plain east of the Iller River, between the Allgäu region and the Danube basin, giving its compact centre a distinctly southern German setting. Its walled old town retains gates, towers and the Marktplatz, while St Martin’s Church rises above the central streets. In 1525, representatives of the Swabian peasants formulated the Twelve Articles here, a key document of the German Peasants’ War.
