Town hall Kemmern municipality

The municipality of Kemmern is located about seven kilometres north of Bamberg, directly on the Main River at the foothills of the Haßberge mountains. Kemmern is embedded in an historical cultural landscape with an early medieval system of paths and meadows.

Numerous walking and cycling paths connect Kemmern to areas of tourist interest such as the Steigerwald Forest, Franconian Switzerland or the world heritage city of Bamberg.

Although unencumbered by through traffic, the residential community of Kemmern is conveniently located thanks to the B 4 and A 73.

At the district level of the 2011 federal competition "Our village has a future - Our village shall become more beautiful" Kemmern won a gold medal for Upper Franconia. In the same competition on the Bavarian level in 2012, Kemmern was crowned as one of the 15 most beautiful and promising communities in the entire state of Bavaria.
