Schoppershof

Schoppershof is a residential district in northeast Nuremberg covering approximately 91 hectares at about 327 meters elevation. The area is bordered by seven neighboring districts including Schafhof, Erlenstegen, and St. Jobst.

The district was incorporated into Nuremberg on January 1, 1899, after being owned by noble families including the Ebner von Eschenbach and Peller families. This merger marked the beginning of its development as part of the modern city.

The Dr. Lorenz Tucher Foundation operates from the Herrenhaus building, preserving local heritage while supporting community projects and educational programs. The site shows how historic structures serve contemporary purposes while maintaining their connection to the neighborhood.

The area connects to central Nuremberg through multiple U-Bahn stations and bus lines. The Mercado shopping center provides retail services and local amenities for residents and visitors.

The district is densely populated and ranks among Nuremberg's most populated areas. This concentration shapes the streetscape with closely packed residential buildings and active streets throughout the neighborhood.
