Historic Town Centre Bad Mergentheim

Bad Mergentheim’s historic town centre and the Tauber floodplain form a fascinatingly contrasting pairing. A uniform paving pattern links the various squares and alleyways to create a harmonious overall picture. Sparsely planted trees frame the old and new fountains. Together, they form cooling, shady oases that serve as tranquil yet sociable spaces. Each urban space is given its own distinct character: Deutschordenplatz is enhanced by larger green spaces and a water feature, whilst Burgstraße is graced with additional trees and seating. On the Lower and Upper Market Squares, loosely arranged trees, fountains and new leisure areas enhance the quality of life. At the same time, spaces for events, catering and markets are designed to be used flexibly.
