The Schweinfurt District is a great place for young families. Why? Because land for home construction is particularly inexpensive here and the unemployment rate is low. Plus numerous wonderful lakes for swimming that are surrounded by forests, meadows and rolling hills add to the quality of life for children and parents alike.
The childcare facilities of the communities of the district have almost 1000 spaces for children under the age of three. The percentage of kids in childcare is 35 percent, which is well above the average for Bavaria as well as Germany. We call that child-friendly.
Outside of Schweinfurt, there are three distinct ecosystems: To the South, vineyards dominate the scenery. West of town, organic farming is exemplary in every regard. And to the North lies the so called Schweinfurt Upper Land featuring forests and a water and nature preserve.
The Schweinfurt District is dissected by four Autobahn highways, the A3, A7, A70 and A71. The Main River is another major traffic artery and the Schweinfurt Port adds to the area’s infrastructure.
There are six swimming lakes in the Schweinfurt District, including Lower Franconia’s largest swimming lake, the Ellertshäuser See. On top of that, there are two nature parks and many hiking and bicycling trails. 880 km of bike trails crisscross the district.
As little as 20 years ago, the district was largely agriculturally based. Then, with infrastructure modernization and renewal, corporations added thousands of jobs for highly qualified workers.
The Schweinfurt District has the largest number of startup companies in the Mainfranken region. In 2014, the number of new startups increased by 188, as in about half of all newly founded companies in all of Mainfranken.
Since 1840, a unique tradition is at home in Schweinfurt and its surrounding areas: Freshly cooked pork is served one course after another on clean wooden boards that are laid across the tables. The pork is served with homemade loaves of bread, horseradish and sauerkraut. It is all you can eat and schnapps is included.
