Every reading we hold on the Main today

Every reading here is a measurement somebody has already taken, never a forecast. The writing beside it is history and geography: it tells you nothing about today's water and nothing about whether a ship sails. Your cruise line decides what your ship does.

One story from this water

The Würzburg Residence: Neumann's Baroque court rising for the prince-bishops.

Prince-bishops build a European Baroque court

Prince-bishops Lothar Franz and Friedrich Carl von Schönborn patronized the Würzburg Residence. Balthasar Neumann coordinated an international team of artists. The eighteenth-century palace joined court ritual, administration, and a monumental approach from the Main city.
