Etymology

Wurzburg ends with the German part -burg, which means 'fort' or 'castle', so the name shows it began as a protected town. A helpful way to remember it is to think of Wurz like 'root' and -burg like 'fort', so Wurzburg feels like a 'rooted fort' by the Main River, fitting its long history and grand buildings.
