Origins and history
Wertheim was probably founded in the eighth or ninth century. On the Wettenburg, a height in the Main loop on the Kreuzwertheim side, people had already settled in the time of the Michelsberg and Urnfield cultures, and again in the early La Tène period and during the migrations. In 1363 Wertheim received the minting right by charter.
