Only a few cars are allowed to park at the wine market now, and the pedestrian zone from the town hall to the Schrannenplatz has been repaved. I can't say whether the number of shops opening in the city center has improved. Many shops have opened in northern Memmingen, and new commercial space has been created, which will probably eventually extend as far as Steinheim. I live in Kempten, and they were smarter there, which is why the city center is still bustling even on Saturday afternoons.

The first evidence of settlement dates back to the Stone Age, as demonstrated by finds along the Iller River near Ferthofen. Records only reappear in the 4th century, as the Augsburg library was destroyed several times, resulting in the loss of documents. Mammingin was first mentioned in 1128. The city walls, towers, and gates were last expanded in 1445.

The hiking and cycling path runs in a straight line alongside the Iller River. The path is gravelled and grassy in the middle. Alongside the cycle path, you can see the floodplain forest. Between the Iller River and the cycle path, there is a grassy strip about 3 meters wide. Wildlife can probably be spotted here frequently, as there is a hunting lodge in between. At least the fish were also taken into consideration at the weir. A fish ladder is located along the edge.

The town hall, built in 1488, is one of the many historic buildings in Memmingen.
