Feucht

Feucht is a market municipality in Nürnberger Land located southeast of Nuremberg, comprising several districts spread across a forested, hilly landscape. The area includes the settlements of Hahnhof, Moosbach, Weiherhaus, and Gauchsmühle.

The name derives from Old High German 'viuhtje' meaning spruce tree, reflecting the historical importance of forests in the region's development. Medieval beekeeping traditions became central to the local economy and shaped the area for centuries.

The Zeidel-Museum documents traditional beekeeping practices that supplied honey for Nuremberg's gingerbread since medieval times. This heritage craft remains part of the local identity today.

The municipality connects easily to Nuremberg through regional bus services and maintains a railway station on the Nuremberg-Regensburg line. Visitors find a good balance between proximity to the city and a quieter, green setting.

The Hermann Oberth Space Travel Museum displays rocket engines, models, and space exploration exhibits dedicated to the renowned space pioneer who lived here. The museum draws visitors interested in discovering the connection between this rural area and space research history.
