Nürnberg

" Extremely competent and thorough (...) Highly recommended!"Bavaria in a Book " A fluently written, coherently structured, vividly illustrated city history" Zeitschrift für bayerische Landesgeschichte " Des Reiches Schatzkästlein" und "industrielles Herz Bayerns", "City of the Reich Party Rallies" and "red Nuremberg", "centre of Europe" or Bavarian province, city of Dürer, of the first German railway and of gingerbread - probably in no other city in Germany do the contrasts of history clash so harshly. The Small City History traces this development: from the imperial estate of the Salians to the heyday as a cultural and economic centre of European rank to the decline in the 18th century, from the industrial boom and the "romantic" discovery of Nuremberg to the usurpation of this tradition by National Socialism and its destruction in the Second World War, and finally to the modern metropolitan region of today.
