Ludwig Erhard Center

The Ludwig Erhard Center is an economic museum in Fürth housed within 1,400 square meters of exhibition space showing post-war German economic history. The building connects Erhard's former home with modern architecture and employs more than 50 media stations to explain economic developments.

The center opened in 2018 and honors Ludwig Erhard, who reshaped German economy after 1948 through currency reform and social market economy principles. These reforms set the foundation for Germany's economic recovery in the decades that followed.

The center is named after Ludwig Erhard, a key figure in shaping German economic thought, and displays show how social market economy principles influenced everyday life. Visitors can see how these ideas appeared in products and business practices of the time.

The museum is located in Fürth and is easily accessible by local transportation or car; checking exact location and parking information before your visit is helpful. The exhibition is designed so that visitors with different interests find understandable content, and families and school groups are welcome.

The ground floor holds a cafe in the former Erhard family shop, showing how small businesses operated during the post-war period. This space lets visitors understand economic history on a personal level.
