Karlstadt

Karlstadt is a town inside the Main-Spessart district within the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia in Bavaria, Germany. It is the Main-Spessart district seat and has a population of round 14,000. From the overdue 6^th to the mid-13^th century, the settlement of Karlburg with its monastery and harbor become placed at the west financial institution of the Main. It grew up around the Karlsburg, a citadel perched high over the community, that became destroyed within the Peasants' War in 1525. In 1202, Karlstadt itself became based by using Konrad von Querfurt, Bishop of Wurzburg.

The exact founding date is unknown. However, for the reason that the founder’s time in office was only 4 years, the time may be reckoned pretty without difficulty. The city was methodically laid out with an almost square plan to guard Wurzburg territory in opposition to the Counts of Rieneck. The plan remains properly preserved today. The streets in the vintage town are laid out much like a chessboard, however for military motives they may be now not quite straight.
