Fürth, Urban municipality in Middle Franconia, Germany
Description
Fürth is a city in Middle Franconia that spreads across flat terrain between the Rednitz and Pegnitz rivers. The old town clusters around St Michael's Church, and several parks run through residential and commercial districts.
History
The first written record dates to 1007, when Emperor Henry II granted land to the Bishopric of Bamberg. The opening of Germany's first railway line to Nuremberg in 1835 transformed the town into an industrial hub.
Culture
Locals refer to their hometown as Franconian Jerusalem because of its once-thriving Jewish community that shaped the city's character. Three synagogues stood here before the Second World War, and today a Jewish museum documents this chapter.
Practical
The main station links travelers to several cities, and buses run through residential and commercial areas. Pedestrians move easily between the old town, parks, and riverbanks.
Did you know?
The 19th-century city hall mimics Florence's Palazzo Vecchio, complete with tower and battlements. Few German town halls follow an Italian model so closely.
