Memmingen – the gateway to the Allgäu
Memmingen conjures up images of ancient city walls, gateways, towers, churches and intricate building facades. It is a town full of history – 850 years of it. It lies in an area know as the “Baroque Street”, an area where there is an ancient Castle or Schloss standing on every hill.
When travelling in the central European region, one must pass by Memmingen. The town stands on the crossroads of the A7 and A96 highways and so is situated on the main route between the North of Germany, Munich, Switzerland, Austria & Italy. One often sees as many Swiss, Dutch and Italian number plates as German.
It is town of many facets – a colourful history that reaches into today on the one hand, and a strong modern commercial center on the other.
The Town Hall and Central Park is only three minutes’ walk from the Villa Bux, and two minutes’ from the Market Place and Town Centre.
