Where to stay in Damm
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Schloss Johannisburg is the anchor. Damm takes in the castle together with the Schlossmuseum Aschaffenburg and the Staatsgalerie Aschaffenburg, which puts a traveller who books here within reach of most of what the city is visited for. The rooms themselves carry city addresses.
Nothing on the sheet answers to a hotel here, so the practical move is an Aschaffenburg booking with the Christian Schad Museum and the Kapuzinerkloster as the walking targets.

About Damm
What are the main landmarks in Damm?
A castle, then the museums. Schloss Johannisburg heads the district's list, and the Schlossmuseum Aschaffenburg, the Staatsgalerie Aschaffenburg and the Stiftsmuseum der Stadt Aschaffenburg follow it, with the Christian Schad Museum, the Museum jüdischer Geschichte und Kultur and the Naturwissenschaftlichen Museum Aschaffenburg filling out an unusually deep collection for one quarter. Churches follow.
The Kapuzinerkloster, the Klosterkirche, the Herz-Jesu-Kirche and Christ Church (Aschaffenburg) stand on the same sheet as the Rundtürmchen and the addresses along Erthalstraße.
What is the history of Damm?
Damm has no year against its name. The register gives the district no founding date and no charter, so its chronology has to be inferred from the names alone: Schloss Johannisburg, the Kapuzinerkloster, the Klosterkirche, a Bürgerhaus, a Stadthof and a Herrenhaus. Aschaffenburg holds the written account.
Its museums do the same work in another form, since the Stiftsmuseum der Stadt Aschaffenburg and the Museum jüdischer Geschichte und Kultur both sit within the district Damm covers.
Where is Damm?
Damm sits inside Aschaffenburg in Bavaria, and the museum streets around Schloss Johannisburg fall within the stretch of city the record assigns it.
