The Schulzengrundbach ^[2] is a small river left of the Westerbach in Landkreis Aschaffenburg in the Bavarian Spessart in Germany.

Location

Its source is east of Westerngrund-Oberwestern. It flows in a southwesterly direction through the Schulzengrund valley and discharges at Oberwestern into the Westerbach.

Since 1 July 2013 it became famous, when Croatia joined the European Union because the geographical centre of the European Union is located in a wet meadow left of the Schulzengrundbach. ^{[3] [4]}
