Welcome to Middle Franconia

Fürth

The historic city of Fürth is loved by many for its marvelous buildings of historic importance that tell stories of 1000 years of city history. The streets around the old city center and the Michaeliskirche (Michael’s church) and the Grüner Markt (green market) are mostly Medieval. On your way from the Hornschuchpromenadet to the Fürther Freiheit (following the tracks of the first German train!), past the city theater to the mighty city hall with its square-shaped towers. You will be impressed by the visible wealth that the industrialization gave this area. The bishopric of Bamburg, the lords of Ansbach and the Reichsstadt Nuremberg ruled over this area for centuries, which made it possible for a large Jewish community to prosper here. The Jewish Museum will provide you with interesting impressions. The Stadtmuseum Ludwig Erhard provides comprehensive information on how the city developed over time. Burgfarrnbach Castle, the largest classicist castle in the south of Germany, is home the the city archives and venue to many cultural and festive events.

Walks

The premises of our hotel are calm and spacious. They fit the area perfectly. The Südpark (south park) and the south of Fürth invite you to stroll. And all of this was a large barracks facility until the 1990ies. The award-winning neighborhood on the grounds of the former W. O’-Darby-Kaserne (barracks) is definitely worth a visit. It mixes modern architecture and historic style and it is a unique place in general. The Südpark is also home to the Fürth’s music school and the Wilhelm-Löhe-Hochschule (college for health and social sciences). You will also find the Phönix-Center not far from the hotel. This local shopping mall offers numerous excellent opportunities to shop and go out.
Also not far (1km) you will find the large city park. Along the rivers Rednitz, Regnitz and Pegnitz, you will find lots of green gardens and lawns so that you can go on long walks or bike rides, e.g. right into the heart of Nuremberg.
The Gäste-Guide can give you additional information on the area around the hotel.

Outdoor Fun

Nature

Even though Fürth is a large city with a population of more than 130,000, you’re never far from nature. The center of Fürth is enclosed by the two rivers Rednitz and Pegnitz. The parks along the watercourses invite you to go for a walk or to get some outdoor exercise. Not far from city hall, the two rivers unite into the Regnitz which continues its course along Erlangen into Bamberg.
The population of Fürth’s secret love is the city park, which was built in the 50ies when one of the first federal garden shows took place here. The large park along the Pegnitz with its beautiful rose garden and the mighty trees as well as an outdoor stage that offers a versatile program – all of these invite guests from far and near. If you follow the river, you can enjoy the beautiful nature and eventually reach the center of Nuremberg.
