Neustadt am Main
Neustadt am Main (officially: Neustadt a.Main) is a community in the Main-Spessart district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) in Bavaria, Germany and a member of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Lohr am Main (municipal administrative association).
Geography
Location
Neustadt am Main lies on both banks of the Main river in the Würzburg Region, around 8 km south of the town of Lohr at the foot of the Spessart hills. It is part of the Main-Spessart district in the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia.
The municipal territory stretches quite far into the wooded hills to the west. The highest peak of the Main-Spessart-Kreis is located in Neustadt's territory: the Klosterkuppel at 552 m above sea level. In that area lies the source of the Silberlochbach that flows into the Main near the town.
Out of a total municipal area of around 1,980 hectares, forest accounts for almost 1,600 ha.
Subdivisions
The community has the following Gemarkungen (traditional rural cadastral areas): Erlach am Main (on the left bank of the river), Neustadt am Main (on the right bank). The two Ortsteile are linked by a pedestrian bridge across the Main (built 1970-71).
