Gleisshammer, Residential district in Nuremberg, Germany

The southeastern district of Nuremberg contains a mix of four to five-story residential buildings constructed during the 1910s and 1920s.

First documented in 1336, Gleisshammer started as a hamlet near Zeltnerweiher pond and included one of Nuremberg's earliest industrial facilities, an iron forge.

The district maintains separate religious affiliations, with Protestant residents belonging to St. Peter Church and Catholic residents to St. Kunigund Church.

The Nuremberg-Gleisshammer station, opened in 1920, connects the district to multiple city bus lines and the Nuremberg-Feucht railway line.

The Zeltnerschloss manor house, initially built in 1370 to protect a hammer mill, now contains apartments and cultural facilities after its 1955 restoration.
