Nuremberg

Nuremberg (/ˈnjʊərəmbɜːrɡ/, NURE-əm-burg; German: Nürnberg [ˈnʏʁnbɛʁk] ⓘ ; in the local

East
Franconian dialect: Nämberch [ˈnɛmbɛrç]) is the largest city in Franconia, the second-largest city in the Nuremberg
German state of Bavaria, and its 544,414 (2023) inhabitants[3] make it the 14th-largest city in Germany. Nürnberg (German)
Nämberch (Mainfränkisch)
Nuremberg sits on the Pegnitz, which carries the name Regnitz from its confluence with the Rednitz in
Fürth onwards (Pegnitz→ Regnitz→ Main→ Rhine→ North Sea), and on the Rhine–Main–Danube City
Canal, that connects the North Sea to the Black Sea. Lying in the Bavarian administrative region of
Middle Franconia, it is the largest city and unofficial capital of the entire cultural region of Franconia.
The city is surrounded on three sides by the Nürnberger Reichswald, a large forest, and in the north lies
Knoblauchsland (garlic land), an extensive vegetable growing area and cultural landscape.

The city forms a continuous conurbation with the neighbouring cities of Fürth, Erlangen and
Schwabach, which is the heart of an urban area region with around 1.4 million inhabitants,[4] while the
larger Nuremberg Metropolitan Region has a population of approximately 3.6 million. It is the largest
city in the East Franconian dialect area (colloquially: "Franconian"; German: Fränkisch).
Nuremberg Castle
Nuremberg and Fürth were once connected by the Bavarian Ludwig Railway, the first steam-hauled and
overall second railway opened in Germany (1835). Today, the U1 of the Nuremberg U-Bahn runs along
this route. Subway lines U2 and U3 are the first German driverless subway lines, automatically moving
railcars.[5] Nuremberg Airport (Flughafen Nürnberg "Albrecht Dürer") is the second-busiest airport in
Bavaria after Munich Airport, and the tenth-busiest airport in the country.

Institutions of higher education in Nuremberg include the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg Skyline Fountain
(Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg), Germany's 11th-largest university, with
campuses in Erlangen and Nuremberg and a university hospital in Erlangen (Universitätsklinikum
Erlangen), Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm, Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg and
the newly founded University of Technology Nuremberg. The Nuremberg exhibition centre (Messe
Nürnberg) is one of the biggest convention center companies in Germany and operates worldwide. Opera House Pegnitz River

Nuremberg Castle, its medieval old town and the city's walls, with their many towers, are notable
attractions. Staatstheater Nürnberg is one of the five Bavarian state theatres,[a] showing operas,
operettas, musicals, and ballets (main venue: Nuremberg Opera House), plays (main venue:

Schauspielhaus Nürnberg), as well as concerts (main venue: Meistersingerhalle). Its orchestra, the
Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg, is Bavaria's second-largest opera orchestra after the Bavarian State
Opera's Bavarian State Orchestra in Munich. Nuremberg is the birthplace of Albrecht Dürer and Johann
Pachelbel. 1. FC Nürnberg is the most famous football club of the city and one of the most successful
football clubs in Germany. Nuremberg was one of the host cities of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

History Location of Nuremberg

Middle Ages
The first documentary mention of the city, in 1050, mentions
Nuremberg as the location of an imperial castle between East
Francia and the Margraviate of the Nordgau of Bavaria.[6] From
1050 to 1572 the city expanded and rose dramatically in
importance due to its location on key trade-routes. King
Conrad III, reigning as King of Germany from 1137 to 1152,
established the Burgraviate of Nuremberg, with the first
burgraves coming from the Austrian House of Raabs. With the
Old fortifications of Nuremberg extinction of their male line around 1189, the last Raabs count's
son-in-law, Frederick I of the House of Hohenzollern, inherited
the burgraviate in 1193.

From the late 12th century to the Interregnum (1254–1573), however, the power of the burgraves
diminished as the Hohenstaufen emperors transferred most non-military powers to a castellan, with the
city administration and the municipal courts handed over to an Imperial mayor (German:
Reichsschultheiß) from 1173/74.[7][8] The strained relations between the burgraves and the castellans,
with gradual transferral of powers to the latter in the late 14th and early 15th centuries, finally broke out Nuremberg

into open enmity, which greatly influenced the history of the city.[8]
 The city and particularly Nuremberg Castle would become one of
the most frequent sites of the Imperial Diet (after Regensburg and
Frankfurt), the Diets of Nuremberg from 1211 to 1543, after the
first Nuremberg diet elected Frederick II as emperor. Because of

and a somewhat 'unofficial capital' of the Empire. In 1219
Emperor Frederick II granted the Großen Freiheitsbrief ('Great
Charter of Freedom'), including town rights, Imperial immediacy (Reichsfreiheit), the privilege to mint
coins, and an independent customs policy – almost wholly removing the city from the purview of the
burgraves.[7][8] Nuremberg soon became, with Augsburg, one of the two great trade-centers on the route
from Italy to Northern Europe.

(from 1417, Margrave of Brandenburg) and the duke of Bavaria-Ingolstadt, the city purchased the ruins
and the forest belonging to the castle (1427), resulting in the city's total sovereignty within its borders.

Through these and other acquisitions the city accumulated considerable territory.[8] The Hussite Wars (1419–1434),
the second Black Death pandemic in 1437, and the First Margrave War (1449–1450) led to a severe fall in population
in the mid-15th century.[8] Siding with Albert IV, Duke of Bavaria-Munich, in the War of the Succession of Landshut
of 1503–1505, led the city to gain substantial territory, resulting in lands of 25 sq mi (64.7 km2), making it one of the
largest imperial cities.[8]

Early modern age

The cultural flowering of Nuremberg in the 15th and 16th centuries made it the centre of the German Renaissance. In
1525 Nuremberg accepted the Protestant Reformation, and in 1532 the Nuremberg Religious Peace was signed there,
preventing war between Lutherans and Catholics[8][14] for 15 years. During the Princes' 1552 revolution against
Charles V, Nuremberg tried to purchase its neutrality, but Margrave Albert Alcibiades, one of the leaders of the revolt,
attacked the city without a declaration of war and dictated a disadvantageous peace.[8] At the 1555 Peace of Augsburg,
the possessions of the Protestants were confirmed by the Emperor, their religious privileges extended and their
independence from the Bishop of Bamberg affirmed, while the 1520s' secularisation of the monasteries was also
approved.[8] Families like the Tucher, Imhoff or Haller ran trading businesses across Europe, similar to the Fugger and
Welser families from Augsburg, although on a slightly smaller scale. Map of Nuremberg, 1648

The state of affairs in the early 16th century, increased trade routes elsewhere and the ossification of the social
hierarchy and legal structures contributed to the decline in trade.[8] During the Thirty Years' War, frequent quartering of Imperial, Swedish and League
soldiers, the financial costs of the war and the cessation of trade caused irreparable damage to the city and a near-halving of the population.[8] In 1632, the
city, occupied by the forces of Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, was besieged by the army of Imperial general Albrecht von Wallenstein. The city declined
after the war and recovered its importance only in the 19th century, when it grew as an industrial centre. Even after the Thirty Years' War, however, there was
a late flowering of architecture and culture; secular Baroque architecture is exemplified in the layout of the civic gardens built outside the city walls, and in
the Protestant city's rebuilding of St. Egidien church, destroyed by fire at the beginning of the 18th century, considered a significant contribution to the
baroque church architecture of Middle Franconia.[7]
 After the Thirty Years' War, Nuremberg attempted to remain detached from external affairs, but contributions were demanded
for the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War and restrictions of imports and exports deprived the city of
many markets for its manufactures.[8] The Bavarian elector, Charles Theodore, appropriated part of the land obtained by the
city during the Landshut War of Succession, to which Bavaria had maintained its claim; Prussia also claimed part of the
territory. Realising its weakness, the city asked to be incorporated into Prussia but Frederick William II refused, fearing to
offend Austria, Russia and France.[8] At the Imperial diet in 1803, the independence of Nuremberg was affirmed, but on the
signing of the Confederation of the Rhine on 12 July 1806, it was agreed to hand the city over to Bavaria from 8 September,
with Bavaria guaranteeing the amortisation of the city's 12.5 million guilder public debt.[8]

After the Napoleonic Wars

After the fall of Napoleon, the city's trade and commerce revived; the skill of its
inhabitants together with its favourable situation soon made the city prosperous,

national debt. Having been incorporated into a Catholic country, the city was
compelled to refrain from further discrimination against Catholics, who had been
excluded from the rights of citizenship. Catholic services had been celebrated in the city by the priests of the Teutonic
Order, often under great difficulties. After their possessions had been confiscated by the Bavarian government in
1806, they were given the Frauenkirche on the Market in 1809; in 1810 the first Catholic parish was established,
which in 1818 numbered 1,010 people.[8] Old town of Nuremberg in the 19th

In 1817, the city was incorporated into the district of Rezatkreis (named for the river Franconian Rezat), which was
renamed to Middle Franconia (German: Mittelfranken) on 1 January 1838.[8] The first German railway, the Bavarian
Ludwigsbahn, from Nuremberg to nearby Fürth, was opened in 1835. The establishment of railways and the
incorporation of Bavaria into Zollverein (the 19th-century German Customs Union), commerce and industry opened
the way to greater prosperity.[8] In 1852, there were 53,638 inhabitants: 46,441 Protestants and 6,616 Catholics. It
subsequently grew to become the more important industrial city of Southern Germany, one of the most prosperous
towns of southern Germany, but after the Austro-Prussian War it was given to Prussia as part of their telegraph
stations they had to give up. In 1905, its population, including several incorporated suburbs, was 291,351: 86,943
Catholics, 196,913 Protestants, 3,738 Jews and 3,766 members of other religions.[8] The Fränkischer Kurier was

Nazi era
Nuremberg held great significance during the Nazi German era. Because of the city's relevance to the Holy Roman
Empire and its position in the centre of Germany, the Nazi Party chose the city to be the site of huge Nazi Party conventions: the Nuremberg rallies. The
rallies were held in 1927, 1929 and annually from 1933 through 1938. A number of buildings and large gathering areas known collectively as the Nazi Party
Rally Grounds, some of which were not finished, were designed by Albert Speer and were constructed solely for these assemblies. After Adolf Hitler's rise to
power in 1933 the Nuremberg rallies became huge Nazi propaganda events, a centre of Nazi ideals. The 1934 rally was filmed by Leni Riefenstahl, and made
into a propaganda film called Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will). At the 1935 rally, Hitler specifically ordered the Reichstag to convene at Nuremberg
to pass the Nuremberg Laws which revoked German citizenship for all Jews and other non-Aryans.

The Nazi Oberbürgermeister of the city, Willy Liebel, embarked upon a program of urban architectural renewal that he felt befitted one of the centers of Nazi
pageantry. The aim was to restore the city center to the medieval look of centuries past by eliminating late nineteenth-century styling. Among the buildings
he slated for demolition was the Grand Synagogue of Nuremberg. He felt that this "foreign" building with its Moorish revival architecture could not be
reconciled with the image that he strove to create, and he succeeded in having the building completely demolished around the time of the Party rally in
September 1938.[15] Many examples of Nazi architecture can still be seen in the city.

The city was also the headquarters of the Nazi propagandist Julius Streicher, the Nazi Party Gauleiter of Franconia, a vicious antisemite and the publisher of
Der Stürmer. During the anti-Jewish pogrom known as Kristallnacht on 10 November 1938, the two remaining synagogues and numerous Jewish-owned
shops were burned to the ground. Of the 91 Jews in Germany who met their deaths as a result of Kristallnacht, 26 (including ten suicides) were in
Nuremberg. Between 2,000 and 3,000 of Nuremberg's Jews fled from Germany. By 1941, only about 1,800 remained, over 1,600 of whom were rounded-up
and transported to various extermination camps where they were killed.[16] At the end of the war in 1945, there were no Jews left in Nuremberg. There are
many Stolpersteine installed in the streets of the city;[17] these commemorate Jews who were persecuted by the Nazi regime.

During the Second World War, Nuremberg was the headquarters of Wehrkreis (military district) XIII, and an important site for military production, including
aircraft, submarines, and tank engines. A subcamp of Flossenbürg concentration camp was located here, and extensively used slave labour.[18]

On 2 January 1945, the medieval city centre was systematically bombed by the Royal Air Force and the
U.S. Army Air Forces and about ninety percent of it was destroyed in only one hour, with 1,800 residents
killed and roughly 100,000 displaced. In February 1945, additional attacks followed. In total, about 6,000
Nuremberg residents are estimated to have been killed in air raids.

Nuremberg was a heavily fortified city that was captured in a fierce battle lasting from 17 to 20 April 1945
by the U.S. 3rd Infantry Division, 42nd Infantry Division and 45th Infantry Division, which fought house-
to-house and street-by-street against determined German resistance, causing further urban devastation to
the already bombed and shelled buildings.[19] Despite this intense degree of destruction, the city was Map of city centre with air Bombed-out

reconstruction of many of its medieval buildings.[20] Much of this reconstructive work and conservation
was done by the organisation 'Old Town Friends Nuremberg'. Today 25% of Nürnberg's buildings date to before World War II[21] and the old town is a
declared protected area,[22] so the northeastern half of the old Imperial Free City had to be largely reconstructed.[23]

Nuremberg trials
Between 1945 and 1946, German officials involved in war crimes and crimes against humanity were brought before
an international tribunal in the Nuremberg trials. The Soviet Union had wanted these trials to take place in Berlin.
However, Nuremberg was chosen as the site for the trials for specific reasons:

The city had been the location of the Nazi Party's Nuremberg rallies and the laws stripping Jews of their
citizenship were passed there. There was symbolic value in making it the place of Nazi demise.
The Palace of Justice was spacious and largely undamaged (one of the few that had remained largely
intact despite extensive Allied bombing of Germany). The already large courtroom was reasonably
easily expanded by the removal of the wall at the end opposite the bench, thereby incorporating the
adjoining room. A large prison was also part of the complex. Defendants in the dock at the
As a compromise, it was agreed that Berlin would become the permanent seat of the International Nuremberg trials
Military Tribunal and that the first trial (several were planned) would take place in Nuremberg. Due to
the Cold War, subsequent trials never took place.
Following the trials, in October 1946, many prominent German Nazi politicians and military leaders were executed in Nuremberg.

The same courtroom in Nuremberg was the venue of the Nuremberg Military Tribunals, organized by the United States as occupying power in the area.

In order to come to terms with the role Nuremberg played during the Third Reich, the city established the Nuremberg International Human Rights Award in
1995, awarded every two years to individuals or groups defending human rights worldwide.[24]

Geography
Several old villages now belong to the city, for example Grossgründlach, Kraftshof, Thon, and Neunhof in the north-
west; Ziegelstein in the northeast, Altenfurt and Fischbach in the south-east; and Katzwang, Kornburg in the south.
Langwasser is a modern suburb.

Climate
Nuremberg has an oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) with a certain humid continental influence (Dfb), categorized in the
latter by the 0 °C isotherm.[25] The city's climate is influenced by its inland position and higher altitude. Winters are
changeable, with either mild or cold weather: the average temperature is around −3 °C (27 °F) to 4 °C (39 °F), while
summers are generally warm, mostly around 13 °C (55 °F) at night to 25 °C (77 °F) in the afternoon. Precipitation is
evenly spread throughout the year, although February and April tend to be a bit drier whereas July tends to have more Map of Nuremberg
rainfall.[26]

Tourism
Nuremberg is Bavaria's second largest city after Munich, and a popular tourist destination for foreigners and Germans alike. It was a leading city 500 years
ago, but 90% of the town was destroyed in 1945 during the war. After World War II, many medieval-style areas of the town were rebuilt.

Attractions

Pedestrian zones Christkindlesmarkt symbols

Like many European cities, Nuremberg offers a pedestrian-only zone covering a large portion of the old town,
which is a main destination for shopping and specialty retail,[36] including year-round Christmas stores where tourists and locals alike can purchase
Christmas ornaments, gifts, decorations, and additions to their toy Christmas villages. The Craftsmen's Courtyard, or Handwerkerhof, is another tourist
shopping destination in the style of a medieval village. It houses several local family-run businesses which sell handcrafted items from glass, wood, leather,
pottery, and precious metals. The Handwerkerhof is also home to traditional German restaurants and beer gardens.[37]

The Pedestrian zones of Nuremberg host festivals and markets throughout the year, the best known being Christkindlesmarkt, Germany's largest Christmas
market and the gingerbread capital of the world. Visitors to the Christmas market can peruse the hundreds of stalls and purchase local wood crafts and
nutcrackers while sampling Christmas sweets and traditional Glühwein.[38]

Hospitality
In 2017, Nuremberg saw a total of 3.3 million[39] overnight stays, a record for the town, and is expected to have surpassed that in 2018, with more growth in
tourism anticipated in the coming years.[40] There are over 175 registered places of accommodation in Nuremberg, ranging from hostels to luxury hotels, bed
and breakfasts, to multi-hundred room properties.[34]

Culture
Nuremberg was an early centre of humanism, science, printing, and mechanical invention. The
city contributed much to the science of astronomy. In 1471 Johannes Mueller of Königsberg
(Bavaria), later called Regiomontanus, built an astronomical observatory in Nuremberg and
published many important astronomical charts.

In 1515, Albrecht Dürer, a native of Nuremberg, created woodcuts of the first maps of the stars
of the northern and southern hemispheres, producing the first printed star charts, which had
been ordered by Johannes Stabius. Around 1515 Dürer also published the "Stabiussche
Weltkarte", the first perspective drawing of the terrestrial globe.[41]

Printers and publishers have a long history in Nuremberg. Many of these publishers worked
with well-known artists of the day to produce books that could also be considered works of art.
Albrecht Dürer's House In 1470 Anton Koberger opened Europe's first print shop in Nuremberg. In 1493, he published Christkindlesmarkt with
Schöner Brunnen
the Nuremberg Chronicles, also known as the World Chronicles (Schedelsche Weltchronik), an
illustrated history of the world from the creation to the present day. It was written in the local
Franconian dialect by Hartmann Schedel and had illustrations by Michael Wohlgemuth, Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, and Albrecht Dürer. Others furthered
geographical knowledge and travel by map making. Notable among these was navigator and geographer Martin Behaim, who made the first world globe.

Sculptors such as Veit Stoss, Adam Kraft and Peter Vischer are also associated with Nuremberg.
Composed of prosperous artisans, the guilds of the Meistersingers flourished here. Richard Wagner made their most famous member, Hans Sachs, the hero of
his opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel was born here and was organist of St. Sebaldus Church.

The academy of fine arts situated in Nuremberg is the oldest art academy in central Europe and looks back to a tradition of 350 years of artistic education.

Nuremberg is also famous for its Christkindlesmarkt (Christmas market), which draws well over a million shoppers each year. The market is famous for its
handmade ornaments and delicacies.

Heilig-Geist-Spital. In the centre of the city, on the bank of the river Pegnitz, stands the Hospital of the Holy Spirit. Founded in 1332, this is
one of the largest hospitals of the Middle Ages. Lepers were kept here at some distance from the other patients. It now houses elderly
persons and a restaurant.
The Hauptmarkt, dominated by the front of the unique Gothic Frauenkirche (Our Lady's Church), provides a picturesque setting for the
famous Christmas market. A main attraction on the square is the Gothic Schöner Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain) which was erected around
1385 but subsequently replaced with a replica (the original fountain is kept in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum). The unchanged
Renaissance bridge Fleischbrücke crosses the Pegnitz nearby.
The Gothic Lorenzkirche (St. Laurence church) dominates the southern part of the walled city and is one of the most important buildings in
Nuremberg. The main body was built around 1270–1350.

Politics
Nuremberg is represented in the Bundestag by two constituencies; Nuremberg North and Nuremberg South. Since 2002, both constituencies have been held
by the CSU.

At the local level, Nuremberg has historically been left-leaning in the conservative state of Bavaria – since the end of World War II, the city has mainly
elected SPD mayors with the exception of Ludwig Scholz (elected 1996, served until 2002) and Marcus König (elected 2020). From 1957 to 1987, the
position of Chief Mayor (Oberbürgermeister) was continuously held by Andreas Urschlechter (SPD) for 30 years.

Mayor
The current mayor of Nuremberg is Marcus König of the Christian Social Union (CSU). The most
recent mayoral election was held on 15 March 2020, with a runoff held on 29 March, and the
