Tauberbischofsheim is one of the oldest cities in the Tauber Valley.

The conversion to Christianity began in this city in 735, when Bonifatius erected the first convent of nuns in Germany, whose Abbess was called Lioba.

Both became saints, and the names of the two churches in the city are a tribute to them.

From 1237 to 1803, the city belonged to the bishopric of Mainz, then it was transferred to Baden in 1806.

In 1939 it only had 3,609 inhabitants, but the arrival of industries and the integration of 6 other parishes around it made the city grow, and today it has 14,300 inhabitants.

Tauberbischofsheim became famous for the most famous fencing club in the world, with Emil Beck as coach and called the "medal machine". His fencing school is now considered a federal competition center, which even has a boarding school and serves as a training base for the Olympics.

A stroll through the old city center gives visitors the impression of stepping back in time, something that has been very well preserved by its inhabitants.
