Eschenbach, Germany

Living in Eschenbach is a challenging proposition, with a heavy tax burden and bureaucracy that's a persistent headache. The city was the birthplace of renowned pianist and conductor Christoph Eschenbach, who won a Grammy Award in 2014 and received the prestigious Ernst von Siemens Music Prize in 2015.
