Goldsmith’s house in the old town
Give yourself a little time to get to know Fürth, the city of the
clover-leaf crest. You will be surprised how many interesting, unexpected, and charming sights there are to discover.
A thousand years old, today’s Fürth is also a multicultural modern
city, where science, solar energy and high technology combine
with original Franconian hospitality and a lively cultural/pub
scene.

a hi stor y in architec ture
No city in Bavaria has more historic buildings in proportion to its inhabitants than Fürth – over 2,000. These are best represented by the
town hall and the theatre. In the old part of the city, the different
house styles impressively reflect Fürth’s development from a small
market town to a thriving industrial centre.
The “wild man” in
Hornschuchpromenade
Not to be missed are the group of
town houses in Hornschuchpromenade and Königswarterstraße.
Here, in 1835, the residents
leaned out of the windows to
watch the trains travel down
Germany’s first railway track.
Historic Stadlerhof
Fürth also features modern architecture: Hotel-Pyramide, the
Riverside Estate, the South City Park and the golf park exemplify
the town’s innovative architectural style und design.

History comes to life
A history going back more than a thousand years demands to be
told. The programme of guided walks through Fürth, organised by
the tourist information office, offers you a variety of tours. These
deal with the city’s history, especially its Jewish past, its famous
people, the historical buildings, and the unique character of the
Fürth locals. With the help of a portable audio-visual guide, let
Ludwig Erhard, Max Grundig and Gustav Schickedanz – some of
Fürth’s famous sons – show you around the city.
How about a lively tour of the local taverns, to acquaint yourself with the life, loves and drinking habits of the clover-leaf city
through the centuries? Or perhaps you would prefer to learn
something about the Counts of Pückler-Limburg and their castle in
Burgfarrnbach? If so, then why not try out one of our entertaining
theatrical tours, with actors bringing history to life? (available from
autumn 2009)
Fürth, which offers more than 200 inspirational city tours, joins
forces with Nuremberg every year in June for the largest nationwide marathon of guided tours, the “Stadt(ver)führungen”.
”Fürth is an alluring place, whether you go on a
tour of the Grüner Markt, take a journey back in
time through the town’s historic streets, explore
the new riverside promenade or discover little
oases in the southern part of the city. As a Fürth
local and a committed tour guide I would like
to show you the attractions of my native city:
experience the adventure that is Fürth!“

festive
celebrations to the limit
“Of all the festivals we visit in Germany every year, my favourite one is the
Fürther Kirchweih. I particulary enjoy the
atmosphere in the centre of town and the
rich diversity of people: the well-dressed
business manager who invites his clients
to a lunch of sausages, the many families,
funky youngsters, and the dedicated Fürth
locals who visit their fair every day.”
The Michaeliskirchweih in October, the “Queen of the Franconian
Fairs“, has been attracting people from far and wide for almost
900 years. This is the number one street festival in Bavaria and the
mixture of market and funfair has its own special charm.
But there are many other celebratory occasions, such as the New
Orleans music festival, the summer night theatrical plays, the Fürth
festival, the two Christmas markets and the festival of wine. The
people of Fürth certainly know how to have a good time, especially
at the summer night ball in the illuminated municipal park, the
biggest open air ball in southern Germany.
Twice a year the idyllic old town hosts the colourful Grafflmarkt
(flea market), packed with bric-a-brac and second-hand goods.
A great opportunity for collectors and the chance to experience
Franconian conviviality!

“You can experience a wide variety of culture in Fürth, from opera in the
municipal theatre, open-air classical music under the stars in the park, the
best cabaret in the Comödie, or musical magic with the Fürther Streichhölzer
Orchestra; all that and much more awaits you in Fürth!”
Volker Heißmann und Martin Rassau
Comedians and owners of Comödie Fürth
Fürth comedians Volker Heißmann and Martin Rassau are famous
nationwide. In their own theatre, the Comödie Fürth in the
Berolzheimerianum building, many well-known cabaret artists and
boulevard-theatre groups take the stage.
Fürth’s municipal theatre is the crème de la crème when it comes
to art and culture in grand style. Offering challenging touring plays
and numerous productions of its own, it is highly regarded far
beyond the city limits.

Exceptional: the music and theatre
repertoire in the Kulturforum
Rock and pop concerts fill the Stadthalle. Fans of alternative cabaret, extravagant jazz and daring theatre productions are regulars at
the Kulturforum, Blue Note, Raum 4, or the Kofferfabrik.
Every two years, the International Klezmer-Festival attracts music
lovers from all over the world to Fürth. Another magical highlight
for the city and the surrounding region is the International Puppet
Theatre Festival.

Café in the
Südstadtpark
in the south of
the city
The locals just love their municipal park, built in 1951 for a garden
show. This is the green heart of Fürth, a wonderful oasis where you
can go for a leisurely stroll and take a break from everyday life.
The park’s cafe (Stadtparkcafe) is the perfect place to enjoy a cappuccino or glass of wine after a guided tour of the city.
In the southern part of Fürth, on ground that once housed an army
barrack, a new spacious park has been built. A boules area, skating
rink, streetball field, climbing wall and a large activity playground
provide opportunities for sport and fun.
Relax at the “Fürthermare“, a thermal baths and adventure pool complex opened in 2007. Enjoy a swim in the curative thermal water or try
out the sauna built in Mallorquin style.

Take part in the children’s theatre
In Fürth, children really get their money’s
worth. The theatre performances in the
Kulturforum and city theatre, or the
adventure campaigns of the “childfriendly town” network and the school
of fantasy, are only some examples of
what the city has to offer. On adventure
tours, children really get to know Fürth,
while the local museums offer them
creative and physical challenges.
Adventure tour of the city
Children can let off steam on any one of the numerous adventure
playgrounds in the city, the most beautiful being located in the
centre of the municipal park (Stadtpark). For those who like sport
the city organises a children’s run in summer and the Fürthermare
adventure pool promises the ultimate experience for young bathing
enthusiasts. In nearby Zirndorf the Playmobil-FunPark is a major
attraction for families with young children.

Beach-volleyball festival in the middle of town
Fürth has a lot to offer for sports enthusiasts. On the soccer front,
the former German champions “Greuther Fürth“ play in the
second division of the Bundesliga. The Metropol Marathon is wellknown nationwide, while the City Run and Fair Run are traditional
events. There is also a well-constructed network of bicycle lanes
in Fürth. The city lies on the Paneuropa cycle-way from Prague to
Paris and there is a popular bicycle lane alongside the river Regnitz. They are ideal starting points for cycling tours. In addition,
the various parks, meadows and the woods are just perfect for
jogging or walking. Golf, boules, beach-volleyball and snooker are
also played here with passion.
Aspiring runners at the Metropolmarathon
“Fürth furthers my aims…
The Triathlon makes heavy demands on both the
athlete and her ‘training grounds’. Fürth offers
simply everything the triathlete, sportsperson and
sports fan needs. Swimming in a modern open-air
pool, high-profile cycling events on roads in and
around Fürth and running in the city park make
training a pleasure.”

Grüne Halle in the Südstadtpark
Thinking of organising a conference in Fürth, or getting together
for a big celebration? In the clover-leaf city you will find a variety
of splendid locations for meetings, conferences and other events.
The Stadthalle offers technical and professional facilities of the
highest standard.
Soirée at Burgfarrnbach Castle
Other suitable locations include the Grüne Halle – an exclusive
market- and event hall situated in the centre of the Südstadtpark –
and the decorative marble hall in Burgfarrnbach Castle.
The Kulturforum, on the site of a former abbatoir, the radio
museum and the Kofferfabrik also provide interesting settings, as
well as the city’s unique hotels and restaurants, such as the ultramodern Hotel Pyramide and the historic masons’ lodge
(Logenhaus).

“Fürth is ideal for organisers of conferences,
congresses and other events. They choose Fürth,
especially the Stadthalle, for its outstanding facilities, great infrastructure and the attractiveness of
the historic old town and surrounding area. What

Centaur Fountain at
Bahnhofplatz
The first “Art fountain” was designed by
Rudolf Maison in 1890 as a monument to
the first German railway (1835) and the
establishment of the central water supply
(1877). It depicts man’s harnessing of the
force of nature. At that time people regarded railway steam as something threatening. It was only when it was tamed in the
locomotive that they realised its benefits.
2 Fürther Freiheit
This is where the first railway, the Adler,
arrived in 1835. The Ludwig railway
operated until 1922, quickly becoming just
an insignificant branch line. The old railway
station building was demolished in 1938.
Today the historic square is an event venue
and is used as a fruit and vegetable
market.
3 Paradise Fountain
The Paradise Fountain has stood on the
Dr.-Max-Grundig site, named after its
founder, since 1995. It was designed by the
artist couple Barbara and Gernot Rumpf. It
depicts the Garden of Eden with a couple,
paradisiacal animals, a natural tree and
many a spouting waterwork. The fountain
is a paradise for children to play in.

5 Stadttheater/Municipal Theatre
Königstraße 116
One of the most splendid buildings in
Fürth is the Municipal Theatre, built by the
famous Viennese architects Hellner und
Felmer in the neo-baroque style in 1902.
They achieved a highly representative
effect with the “Portal arch”, the flanking
columns and the architectural sculpture.
Reliefs of Mozart and Schiller, busts of
Wagner, Beethoven, Goethe and Lessing
on the lateral faces indicate the building’s
function as a theatre and opera house. The
auditorium is in the neo-rococo style.
6 Rathaus/City Hall
Königstraße 86-88
The monumental building was constructed
1840 – 1850 from the plans of Eduard
Bürklein in the classical style of the
famous architect Friedrich von Gärtner. The
55-metre high tower, the landmark of the
city, is inspired by the Palazzo Vecchio in
Florence.
The industrial town grew so quickly that
an extension had to be added just 50 years
later.
4
Hornschuchpromenade and
Königswarterstraße
These two boulevards from the promoterism
period are among the most beautiful in
Fürth. From 1883 to 1904 manorial houses
representative of the upper classes were
constructed with rich sandstone adornments
between Luisenstraße and Jakobinenstraße.
The spacious promenade is unique in Fürth.
The green central strips were used at that
time by the Ludwig railway. This was proof
of the open-mindedness of this street’s
residents, as it was thought chic in those
days to live so close to this modern means
of transport.
20
7 The quarter behind the City Hall
Entire streets lined with houses in the style
of classicism and historicism characterise
this quarter, which arose in the second
half of the 19th century and was laid out
as planned in a rectangular grid for the
constantly growing population.
In the courtyards there were commercial
establishments, workshops and small
factories. Living and working were still
intertwined in that age.
21
8 Gustavstraße
Gustavstraße was the most important
street in the Old Town. Nowadays it is
the heart of the pub scene and a popular
meeting point, especially in the evening.
No two houses are the same here. There
is a great variety of roof shapes, heights,
styles and facade designs. What is particularly attractive is the baroque sandstone
building of the Grüner Baum inn, where
the Swedish king Gustav Adolf is said to
have stayed overnight in1632. Anyway, it
is after him that the street is named.
9 St. Michaelskirche/St. Michael’s
Church, Kirchenplatz
The Michaelskirche is the oldest edifice
in Fürth. The beginnings of this fortified
church date back to 1100. As befitted the
erstwhile small market town, St. Michael is
only a simple, relatively unadorned village
church. The tower with the west portal,
the chancel and the south entrance are
from the Gothic period. The interior is 19th
century neo-Gothic. The only old piece of
art preserved is the sandstone tabernacle
built around 1500.
12 Lochnersches Gartenhaus
Theaterstraße 33
Around 1700 Fürth clergyman Daniel Lochner built his summer-house in the former
garden district, which contemporaries
likened “to a castle”, because it was
erected in the style of Nuremberg manors.
Threatened by decay, the house was
lavishly restored in 2003/2004. Its striking elements are the gabled houses, the
characteristic tower of stairs and the rear
in half-timbered style.
13 Berolzheimerianum
Theresienstraße 1
The pencil manufacturer Heinrich
Berolzheimer founded the adult education
centre in 1904. Today the renovated Art
Nouveau building is the playhouse,
restaurant and scene bistro of the
Comödie Fürth.
10 Grüner Markt/Green Market
with Jugglers Fountain
As Fürth was almost totally destroyed in
the Thirty Years’ War, the old houses at the
Grüner Markt date from the second half of
the 17th and from the 18th century. Apart
from simple half-timbered buildings there
are sandstone houses with baroque curved
gables that document the rise of the town
in the 18th century. An attraction at the
Grüner Markt is the Jugglers’ Fountain
designed by Harro Frey in 2004 and the
two groups of figures.
14 Logenhaus der Freimaurerloge/
Freemasons’ lodge house
Dambacher Straße 11
The jutting historicism building of the
Fürth Lodge was constructed in 1890/91
by Nuremberg architect Leonhard Bürger,
representing the concept of the Freemasons’ lodge cast in stone. The cube-shaped
body of the building is richly decorated
with freemasonry symbols. Up on the
gable, two female figures symbolise the
name of the lodge, to truth and friendship.
The renovated hall is one of the finest
banqueting halls in Fürth.
11 Alter Judenfriedhof/
The old Jewish cemetery
This is where the Jewish community buried
its dead from 1607 to 1906. The graves
were created for eternity and the peace of
the graves must not be disturbed. Despite
acts of desecration during the Nazi period,
the cemetery, which covers 20,000 m2
and once stood on the edge of town, is to
this day one of the most impressive stone
testaments to Jewish life in Fürth.
15 Schloss Burgfarrnbach/
Burgfarrnbach Castle
The castle is located in the eastern part
of Burgfarrnbach and was erected for the
Counts of Pückler-Limpurg. It was built
between 1830 and 1834 in the classical
style by Royal Bavarian Building Inspector
Leonhard Schmidtner. The triangular gable
of the protruding middle section of the
facade contains the Pückler coat of arms.
The castle belongs to Fürth City Council
and is used as an archive, library and
meeting centre.

were pupils there. The highlight of the new
museum, which will be opened in September
2009, is an exhibition dealing with the social

Franconian Switzerland
The four towns of Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen and Schwabach
have merged to form the Nuremberg Municipal Region (Städteregion Nuremberg). Together they offer an impressive cultural programme with a diverse range of museums, interesting exhibitions
and numerous other events.

Fürth is the ideal starting point for excursions: a visit to one of the
historic Franconian towns, a trip to “Franconian Switzerland” –
a paradise for ramblers and climbing enthusiasts, a walking tour
in the Franconian vineyard region and cycling- or cultural tours
through romantic Franconia. The region has an inexhaustible
supply of leisure facilities.
