Working in Kronach-Neuses

Kronach-Neuses is the district town of the Upper Franconian district of Kronach and a medium-sized center in Bavaria.

Kronach is the birthplace of Lucas Cranach the Elder and has one of the best-preserved fortifications in Germany, the Rosenberg Fortress. The townscape is characterized by the almost completely preserved old town with its sandstone and half-timbered houses, town walls, gates, towers and vaulted cellars. Kronach lies on the Beer and Castle Route and the Bavarian Porcelain Route. With the Lucas Cranach Campus, Kronach is now a university town.
