SCHWEINFURT

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 392 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCHWEINFURT , a town of Germany, in the kingdom of Bavaria, situated on the right bank of the Main, which is here spanned by several bridges, 27 M. N.E. of Wurzburg by rail, and at the junction of lines to Kissingen,
Bamberg
  and Gemunden. Pop. (1905) 18,416. The Renaissance town-
hall
  in the spacious market-place
dates
  from 1570; it contains a library and a collection of antiquities. St John's church is a
Gothic
  edifice with a lofty tower; St Salvator's was built about 1720. Schweinfurt is well furnished with benevolent and educational institutions, including a gymnasium originally founded by Gustavus Adolphus in 1631, and rebuilt in 1881. The
chief
  manufacture is paint (" Schweinfurt green " is a well-known brand in Germany), introduced in 1809; but beer, sugar, machinery, soap and other drysalteries, straw-
paper
  and vinegar are also produced.
Cotton
 -spinning and bell-founding are carried on, and the Main supplies water-power for numerous saw, flour and other mills. Schweinfurt carries on an active trade in the grain, fruit and wine produced in its neighbourhood, and it is the seat of an important sheep and cattle market. A monument was erected in 1900 to Friedrich Ruckert the poet (1788-1866).
Schweinfurt is mentioned in 790, and in the loth century was the seat of a margrave. It fell later to the
counts
  of Henneberg; but, receiving civic rights in the 13th century, it maintained its independence as a free imperial city with few interruptions until 1803, when it passed to Bavaria. Assigned to the grand duke of Wurzburg in 1810, it was restored to Bavaria in 1814. In the Thirty Years' War it was occupied by Gustavus Adolphus, who erected fortifications, remains of which are still extant.
See Beck, Chronik ,der Stadt Schweinfurt (2 vols., Schweinfurt, 18361841) ; and Stein, Geschichte der Reichstadt Schweinfurt (2 vols., Schweinfurt, 190o).
