Treuchtlingen City Palace is a Renaissance palace in Treuchtlingen in the Middle Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen. Historically, the palace is also known as the Lower Veste, in reference to the Upper Veste located further upstream. The building is registered as a historic monument in the Bavarian Register of Monuments under monument number D-5-77-173-23.[1] The address is Heinrich-Aurnhammer-Straße 3 and 5. The palace is the birthplace of Gottfried Heinrich zu Pappenheim, a cavalry general during the Thirty Years' War. The quote from Friedrich von Schiller's drama *The Death of Wallenstein* is dedicated to him: "That's how I recognize my Pappenheimers." Today, the palace houses, among other things, the Treuchtlingen City Museum.
