The first themed benches were set up for the town's(Submitted on October 22, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)anniversary in 2016. From a one-off "try-it-out", the benches have now developed into a unique tourist attraction. Historical hotspots, such as Schwetzingen's importance as a brewing, tobacco and asparagus town, are addressed here, as are contributions to archaeology, music and mobility history.
