Reichelsdorf

Reichelsdorf is a residential district in southwestern Nuremberg divided by the Treuchtlingen-Nuremberg railway line into two main sections. The area is bordered by the Rednitz River and contains a mix of housing types spread across its landscape.

The area was first documented in 1299 and took its name from the Richolt family who lived there. It became part of Nuremberg in 1922 as the city expanded into surrounding regions.

The Catholic Church of the Holy Family and the Protestant Philippuskirche shape the neighborhood's character and reflect its religious diversity. Both churches serve as important gathering places for their communities and demonstrate the area's openness to different faiths.

The district is well connected to central Nuremberg by the S2 S-Bahn line and multiple bus routes throughout the day. Regular service makes it straightforward to reach other parts of the city.

The district displays a stark contrast between high-rise apartment blocks built in the 1960s in the northern section and single-family homes near the forest and river. This blend of urban density and rural living creates the area's distinctive character.
