(Fort Marienberg & other sights in Wurzburg)
Wurzburg, the old Franken capital, is the region's center of wine production and marketing. From the 10th century on, wealthy and powerful prince-bishops, who created the city as it stands today, ruled Wurzburg. The city was bombed only once in WWII in a raid that although it lasted only 20 minutes devastated 87% of the city. Over the years since, the city’s buildings have been largely restored.
