Rangierbahnhof-Siedlung, Residential district in southeastern Nuremberg, Germany
Rangierbahnhof-Siedlung is a residential district in the southeastern part of Nuremberg, built in a garden city style with low-rise housing arranged around green open spaces. The streets are lined mostly with three-story townhouses set close together, giving the area a compact but open feel.
The district was built in the early 1900s to house workers from the nearby freight rail yard. The housing was constructed in a short span of time, forming a self-contained neighborhood from the outset.
The name of this settlement refers to the freight yard workers who once lived here, and that origin still shapes the feel of the streets today. The tidy front gardens and the orderly layout reflect the working-class pride that marked the neighborhood from the start.
The district is easy to reach from central Nuremberg using the Bauernfeindstraße U-Bahn station, which is within walking distance of most streets. Local schools, shops, and the church of St. Willibald cover the main everyday needs of those who live here.
A large part of the district is listed as a protected monument, which has prevented major renovations or new construction for decades. As a result, the layout and appearance of the housing from the early 1900s remain largely unchanged today.
