Gerolzhofen is a town in the Lower Franconian district of Schweinfurt and the seat of the Gerolzhofen administrative community. The former district capital of the Gerolzhofen district, which was dissolved in 1972, is designated as a medium-sized center and is the only town in the Schweinfurt district, but only the fifth largest municipality by population. The four larger municipalities are all located in the Schweinfurt metropolitan area, but Gerolzhofen is the most populous town in the former district. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerolzhofen

The Gerolzhofen women's uprising was a demonstration of 800 to 1,000 women and children as well as some men on April 6, 1945 against the local National Socialist leadership. The demonstrators demanded that a white flag be raised as a symbol of the surrender or handover of the city to the American army, which was about to destroy the city if resistance was offered. On April 13, 1945, from 10:00 a.m., the city was occupied by the Americans from the north without bloodshed.

During the summer months, the "Brunnenschoppen" is served in the old town hall. A worthwhile indulgence. Dates at www.gerolzhofen.de

The Weinig and Helmich/Gradl breweries kept their beer fresh here during the summer months. For this purpose, blocks of ice were sawn out of frozen lakes in winter and taken to the cellars.
