Naturwissenschaftlichen Museum Aschaffenburg
is a natural history museum located in the Schönborner Hof at Wermbachstraße 15, Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, Germany. It is open daily except Wednesday; an admission fee is charged.

Viktoria Aschaffenburg
is a German football club based in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria. Even though the city is located in Bavaria, Viktoria Aschaffenburg plays its football in the Hessenliga (V), rather than the Oberliga Bayern (V), against clubs from closer, neighbouring cities. This also reflects in part the history of the region, not traditionally part of Bavaria. The nearby Bavarian club FC Bayern Alzenau has also played in the Hessenliga for the same reasons.
A third-place finish in the Oberliga in 2007–08 meant the club became one of the four clubs from this league to gain entry in the Regionalliga Süd for the next season. After finishing 13th in the league in 2008–09, outside the relegation ranks, the club decided to return to the now-named Hessenliga due to financial reasons. Viktoria experienced a further drop at the end of the 2009-10 season when it was relegated to the tier-six Verbandsliga Hessen-Süd despite a eight place finish for financial reasons.
Schloss Johannisburg
Schloss Johannisburg is a castle in Aschaffenburg that was erected between 1605 and 1614 by Georg Ridinger. Until 1803, it was the second residence of the prince bishop of Mainz. It is constructed of red sandstone, the typical building material of the area around Aschaffenburg.
The castle is one of the main attractions of Aschaffenburg and its landmark. It is located in the center of the city, overlooking the waterside of the river Main. A keep from the destroyed 14th century castle that had formerly stood on the site was included in the construction and is the oldest part of the castle. Schloss Johannisburg is one of the most important buildings of the Renaissance period in Germany. At the end of the 18th century, the interior was restructured in the style of classicism.
