Scheinfeld
municipality of Germany
Scheinfeld (German pronunciation: [ˈʃaɪnfɛlt] ; East Franconian: Schafld) is a town in the Neustadt (Aisch)-Bad Windsheim district, in Bavaria, Germany. It is situated 14 km northwest of Neustadt (Aisch), and 40 km east of Würzburg. Schloss Schwarzenberg is adjacent to the town. The town is home to an Adidas testing factory.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Scheinfeld” as municipality of Germany. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as municipality of Germany. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q504872. VIAF identifies the subject as 123238753. The Library of Congress control number is n86090794. Authority coordinates are 49.664, 10.461. 3 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1946 and 1949.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
