Gaismannshof, Residential district in western Nuremberg, Germany

Gaismannshof is statistical district 62 in Nuremberg's Weststadt, bounded by Frankenschnellweg to the north, Rothenburger Straße to the south, the Ringbahn to the west and Von-der-Tann-Straße to the east. Its listed farm buildings stand on Lehrberger Straße: No. 72 is an 18th/19th-century single-storey farmhouse with a three-storey gable, a timber-framed barn and a bakehouse; No. 75 is a Wohnstallhaus, and Nos. 80 and 82 form a farmstead.

Gaismannshof was first documented in the 15th or 16th century as "Geuschmidshof", probably named after the Nuremberg council family Geuschmied. Around 1800 the hamlet still counted six farmsteads, whose landlords included the Waldamt Laurenzi and the Nuremberg families Löffelholz, Oelhafen and Zeltner. From 1797 to 1808 it fell under the Justiz- und Kammeramt Cadolzburg, and on 1 January 1899 it was incorporated into Nuremberg as part of the municipality of Höfen.

The name goes back to the Nuremberg council family Geuschmied, from whom the hamlet's first recorded form "Geuschmidshof" derives. Since the Reformation the area has been Lutheran; it was originally parish-pastored from St. Michael in Fürth, today from the Erlöserkirche in Leyh, while Catholic residents belong to Zu den Heiligen Schutzengeln in Nuremberg.

Gaismannshof lies between Frankenschnellweg to the north, Rothenburger Straße to the south, the Ringbahn to the west and Von-der-Tann-Straße to the east, so the district is crossed by these four roads. The old hamlet core sits along Lehrberger Straße, where the listed farmhouses at numbers 72, 75, 80 and 82 stand. The wholesale market grounds since 1959 shape traffic in the area.

Since 1959, the district has been home to Nuremberg's wholesale market, serving as a key distribution hub for the region. This trading center continues to influence daily business activity and traffic patterns throughout the area.
