Mindelheim
The landscape around Mindelheim is gently rolling and shaped by the valley of the River Mindel, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This Swabian town in Bavarian Swabia has a compact old centre of gabled houses, towers and parish churches, set amid agricultural country between Augsburg and the Allgäu. Mindelburg, a medieval castle above the town, recalls Mindelheim’s role as a local seat of power and its later association with the Fugger family. The town is also known for the Frundsbergfest, a historical festival named for Landsknecht commander Georg von Frundsberg, who was born here. Its roofs, streets and church spires retain a distinctive small-town Bavarian profile.
