Aerial view of Erding, medieval town center in Bavaria Germany, traditional houses on main street,Gothic Parish

Erding's medieval town center in Bavaria offers a charming glimpse into its rich history, despite some destruction during the Thirty Years' War. Founded in the 13th century, the town developed as a strategic point between Munich and Landshut, and its layout still reflects its past as a fortified settlement. Visitors can wander through quaint, narrow alleys and discover historic buildings that showcase a blend of medieval and later architectural styles. The prominent SchÃ¶ner Turm (Beautiful Tower), a surviving part of the original city wall, stands as a landmark, while the Stadtpfarrkirche St. Johann (Parish Church of St. John) with its towering spire dominates the skyline. The main square, Schrannenplatz, with its elongated shape, hints at its former use as a medieval market, and features historical structures like the town hall and the former grain warehouse. The cozy atmosphere, combined with traditional Bavarian inns and the world-renowned Erdinger WeiÃbrÃ¤u brewery, makes the medieval core of Erding a delightful place to explore
