Even outside Germany, people very often associate the name of the city of Nuremberg with Lebkuchen and Christmas markets. Or with the castle and half-timber houses in the old town. But Nuremberg has far more than that to offer: the city is a modern metropolis that plays host to many industrial and service sector companies, is an international transport hub and conference destination, and a major science and research location.
Moreover, Nuremberg is proud of its history which spans over 950 years. Visitors to Nuremberg will find the city brimming with the landmarks of the medieval free city and market town with its castle, churches and half-timber houses. Nuremberg was also the chosen workplace of many important artists, including Albrecht Dürer, Veit Stoß and Hans Sachs. Nuremberg, of course, also addresses its unpleasant heritage: the Documentation Centre continually tackles the city’s role as host to the Nuremberg Rallies during the Third Reich.
