Fürth

The Fürth district is an administrative area in Middle Franconia comprising several municipalities spread across the region north of Bavaria. The territory brings together rural villages and smaller towns in a cohesive regional structure.

The Fürth district emerged through administrative reforms in Bavaria that reorganized regional governance over time. These changes shaped how the territory is managed and divided into its current municipalities.

Each municipality within the Fürth district maintains its own traditions through local festivals, markets, and community gatherings throughout the year.

The district is accessible by car or train and lies conveniently near the city of Nuremberg. Each municipality has local information centers where visitors can learn about the area and its offerings.

The district's coat of arms combines Brandenburg's eagle with Nuremberg's red and white bars, plus symbols representing agricultural and industrial activities.
