Wöhrder Wiese, Public park along Pegnitz River in Nuremberg, Germany.
Wöhrder Wiese is a green space in central Nuremberg, south of the Wöhrd district, bounded by the Pegnitz and its southern arm below the weir of the Unterer Wöhrder See. It lies on the Sandachse Franken and is flanked on both sides by buildings of the Technische Hochschule Nürnberg. At its western edge is the U-Bahn station Wöhrder Wiese.
The meadow's documented history centres on the Hadermühle: a metal monument of stacked paper sheets marks the spot where Nuremberg councillor and manufacturer Ulman Stromer set up the first German paper mill in 1390. The riverside green itself lies below the weir of the Unterer Wöhrder See, bounded by the Pegnitz and its southern arm, and forms part of the Sandachse Franken.
The riverside grounds attract locals who gather for events, social moments, and leisure time on the open meadows. People use the space to connect with others and enjoy the natural setting in the heart of the city.
The Wöhrder Wiese lies on the Pegnitz below the weir of the Unterer Wöhrder See, bounded by the river and its southern arm. The U-Bahn station Wöhrder Wiese sits at its western edge, and cyclists and pedestrians cross the meadow on the route from Nuremberg's east into the centre. From May to September the Erfahrungsfeld der Sinne occupies part of the grounds.
In the middle of the meadow, a monument of stacked metal sheets with an inscription marks the site of the Hadermühle and commemorates Ulman Stromer, a Nuremberg councillor who established Germany's first paper mill here in 1390.
