Ochsenfurt
Ochsenfurt (German: [ˈɔksn̩ˌfʊʁt] ⓘ) is a town in the district of Würzburg, in Bavaria, Germany. Ochsenfurt is located on the left bank of the River Main and has around 11,000 inhabitants. This makes it the largest town in Würzburg district.
Like Oxford, the town of Ochsenfurt is named after a ford where oxen crossed the river.
The town is situated on the left bank of the River Main, 21 kilometres (13 mi) south of Würzburg.
The Stadtteile of Ochsenfurt are: Darstadt, Erlach, Goßmannsdorf, Hohestadt, Hopferstadt, Kleinochsenfurt, Tückelhausen, and Zeubelried.
Ochsenfurt was one of the places in Germany where King Richard I of England was detained in 1193 while on his way to England from the Third Crusade.
A monastery, Tückelhausen Charterhouse, dedicated to Saints Lambert, John the Baptist, and George, was founded in 1138 by Otto I, Bishop of Bamberg, as a double canonry of the Premonstratensians. From 1351 it belonged to the Carthusians and was secularised in 1803.
The charterhouse was largely converted for private residential use and since 1991 contains a museum of Carthusian life.
Ochsenfurt also features several Protestant and Roman Catholic churches, among them that of St Michael (Michaelskapelle), a Gothic edifice.
