Sandberg

Sandberg is a statistical district in northwestern Nuremberg located between Klinikum Nord hospital, Johannisfriedhof cemetery, the Pegnitz River, and Westfriedhof cemetery. The area consists mainly of residential buildings from the early 20th century with broad streets, green spaces, and an orderly layout.

The area remained undeveloped until the 1890s when construction started along Johannisstraße and Schnieglinger Straße. Its incorporation into Nuremberg in 1899 marked the beginning of its growth as an urban residential neighborhood.

Saint Michael's Church with its neo-baroque design shapes the character of the neighborhood and serves as a gathering place for the local Catholic community. It stands as a quiet anchor point that helps define the rhythm of daily life in the district.

The neighborhood is well served by tram lines with stops at Johannisfriedhof, Julienstraße, and Westfriedhof, making it easy to reach central Nuremberg. The area is walkable with most local attractions within comfortable reach on foot.

The Westbad is the largest outdoor swimming facility in Nuremberg and underwent major renovation in 2011. It becomes a lively gathering place during warmer months when visitors come to swim and cool off.
