Wolframs-Eschenbach, formerly named "Eschenbach" and "Ober-Eschenbach", is a small town, founded in the Middle Ages, which still today preserves architecture about 500 years old.

In 1917 the town was named after its most famous son, the Minnesinger Wolfram von Eschenbach, who was a medieval poet. A notable church is the Liebfrauenmünster (Minster of our Dear Lady).
