located in the German "Basketry City" of Lichtenfels (96215)
in Northern Bavaria.

Lichtenfels is a charming small town in northern Bavaria, often referred to as the "German Basketry City"—a designation that continues to serve as a unique economic and cultural hallmark to this day. Situated in the Main River valley and nestled amidst rolling hills, Lichtenfels blends a historic atmosphere with traditional Franconian *Gemütlichkeit* (coziness). As of April 2026, the city of Lichtenfels has a population of approximately 20,423, ranking it among the smaller regional centers in Upper Franconia. Economically, the city has traditionally been strongly shaped by skilled trades and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In total, the city is home to around 8,000 jobs—a relatively high figure for a municipality of this size. Furthermore, several larger enterprises are based here, including over ten economically significant companies such as the Baur Group, Koepp Schaum, and Hexpol.

​

 

The city's primary medical facility is the Sana Klinikum, which features approximately 276 beds and handles 11,000 inpatient and over 25,000 outpatient cases annually. Lichtenfels is also recognized as a university town; the FADZ Lichtenfels offers Germany’s only degree program dedicated to Additive Manufacturing and Lightweight Design. This combination of traditional craftsmanship, a modern academic curriculum, regional economic vitality, and contemporary healthcare infrastructure establishes Lichtenfels as a quintessential—yet highly functional—regional hub within rural Bavaria. With the construction of the local University of Applied Sciences (part of Coburg University), the already stable demand for housing in the city is on the rise.
