Stadthof

The precise founding history and development of the city residence are closely linked to the Benedictine convent of Schmerlenbach. As a city residence, it presumably served the convent as an economic base and for the administration of its urban properties. Over the centuries, it played a role in monastic life and in the urban structure of Aschaffenburg, until secularization or other historical events ended its original function.

The building is centrally located in the city of Aschaffenburg, an independent city in the Bavarian administrative district of Lower Franconia. Its location within the city emphasizes its historical importance as part of the urban fabric and as an outpost of a convent situated outside the city.

Today, the former city residence is protected as an architectural monument in Bavaria. Its current use and condition contribute to preserving the history and architecture of the region and making it visible for future generations.
