Wertheim is a town in southwestern Germany, in the state of Baden-Württemberg with a population of 24,764. It is located on the confluence of the rivers Tauber and Main.

It is famous for its wine, castle and medieval town centre.

For many years Wertheim was home to Peden Barracks, a US Army installation. Headquartered at Peden Barracks was the 72nd Field Artillery Brigade, as well as two Field Artillery Battalions - 3/35FA (8 inch self-propelled) and 4/27 FA (MLRS). The US Army left Peden Barracks in the early 1990s as part of the post Cold War reorganization of US armed forces in Germany.

Events: Summer festival on the last three days of July, followed by a medieval festival on the castle.
