history

Postage stamp 1000 years of Fürth

→ Main article : History of the city of Fürth

From the beginning to the 17th century

Fürth in 1630, shortly before it was destroyed in the Thirty Years War

Trinity: split in 1717. Green: Nuremberg property. Yellow: Ansbach . Red: Provost Bamberg .

Debt of the city of Fürth for 200 marks dated December 30, 1903

The settlement of Fürth is mentioned for the first time in an Ottonian document on November 1, 1007, with which King Heinrich II , (later Emperor) bequeathed the place to the newly founded cathedral chapter of Bamberg . The market rights granted in the following years went under Heinrich III. lost to neighboring Nuremberg. Even if the market was allowed to be held in Fürth again from 1062, Nuremberg was already of greater importance at this time.

The first settlements of Jews in Fürth have been recorded since 1440 , and in the following centuries they also established their own cemetery and synagogue .

Due to the nearby Nuremberg, Fürth remained a rural community for a long time, which probably only had between 1000 and 2000 inhabitants around 1600. During the Thirty Years' War the place suffered a lot, in 1632 through the battle of the Alte Veste , in 1634, when Fürth was burned down except for a few houses.

In the 17th century, rule over the city lay in different parts and in changing forms with the Bamberg Cathedral monastery, the Principality of Ansbach and the Imperial City of Nuremberg (see map from 1717 on the right).

Growth from the 18th century until today

In the 18th century the urban character emerged, the main features of which can still be seen and partially preserved in today's old town. See map of the Bavarian original cadastre from 1808. In 1835, the Adler was the first German railway between Nuremberg and Fürth ( Ludwigseisenbahn ). The influence of industrialization was significant when the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal reached the city in 1843 . In 1864/65 the Ludwigs-Süd-Nord-Bahn and the Ludwigs-West-Bahn were the first long-distance rail connections in Fürth.

From 1914 the Fürth-Atzenhof airfield was built, followed by the Bachmann & Blumenthal works airport on Hardhöhe in 1919 . The amalgamation of Fürth and Nuremberg to form a large city was discussed for a long time and was ultimately rejected by a large majority of the population in a referendum in 1922.

During the Second World War , 90% of the historical building fabric was preserved despite the air raids on Fürth . In the post-war period, the barracks and the airfield in Atzenhof, in particular, were used by American forces for decades. A large number of the buildings that have been preserved are now listed .

Fürth achieved nationwide beacon character in the 1950s, the time of the economic miracle , through the large mail order company Quelle AG and Grundig AG , which, despite the fact that branches in Nuremberg and elsewhere had more employees and more sales, always remained legally based in Fürth. In 1980 the economic output per capita in Fürth was higher than in all other cities and districts of Bavaria.

Place name

The name "Fürth" is derived from the Franconian pronunciation of "Furth", as the first settlements arose at a ford through the Rednitz .

The city used to be derogatory "Bavarian Jerusalem", since the 1880s, because of the tolerance and freedom felt by Jews, it was referred to as "Franconian Jerusalem " with positive connotations . The term "Kleeblattstadt" referring to the city coat of arms is widespread.

Population development

Population development in Fürth according to the table below. Above from 1604 to 2017. Below an excerpt from 1871

The population of Fürth grew only slowly in the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the modern era due to the numerous wars, epidemics and famine. During the Thirty Years' War the city lost about half of its inhabitants. When Croatian soldiers set fire to Fürth in 1634, the place burned for several days and was almost completely destroyed in the process. At the end of the war only 800 people lived in the city. In 1685 Huguenots and Reformed Christians from France settled in Fürth. Reconstruction was completed in 1700 and the population rose to around 6,000.

With the beginning of industrialization in the 19th century, a strong population growth began. In 1800 Fürth had 12,000 inhabitants, by 1895 this number quadrupled to 47,000. In 1950, the city's population exceeded 100,000, making it a major city . According to the excerpt from the register, over 129,000 people lived in the city at the end of 2017.

The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. Up to 1818 it was mostly an estimate, then census results (¹) or official updates by the respective statistical offices or the city administration itself (city statistics Fürth ). From 1843 the information relates to the “local population”, from 1925 to the resident population and since 1987 to the “population at the place of the main residence”. Before 1843, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey methods.

Christianity

Church of the Resurrection

Fürth initially belonged to the diocese of Würzburg , from 1007 to the diocese of Bamberg . In 1524 the Reformation was introduced together with the city of Nuremberg , so that Fürth was a Protestant city for many years . The city's Lutheran clergy were presented by St. Lorenz in Nuremberg. Since next to the imperial city of Nuremberg u. a. The Dompropstei Bamberg also ruled the city, but there were always Catholics - even if only very few in number - in the city. So were z. As the dompropsteiliche bailiff and his staff from the German religious house Nuremberg care.

After 1792 the Protestant parishes of Fürth were subordinated to the royal Prussian consistory in Ansbach , and after the city passed to Bavaria they became part of the Protestant Church of the Kingdom of Bavaria , which initially comprised Lutheran and Reformed parishes. The parishes then belonged to the Deanery Zirndorf. In 1885 Fürth became the seat of its own deanery, which belongs to the Nuremberg Church District .

Since the 18th century at the latest, the number of Catholics in the city has increased again. In 1829 the city's first Catholic church since the Reformation was consecrated, the Church of Our Lady . Later other parishes arose, which initially belonged to the Nuremberg deanery of the Archdiocese of Bamberg . In 1961, Fürth became the seat of its own Catholic deanery within the archdiocese.

The ratio of Protestants to Catholics in the 20th century was about two to one. Since the 1960s, the proportion of both Protestant and Catholic residents has been falling continuously.

Judaism

→ Main article : History of the Jews in Fürth

The first evidence of Jewish residents in Fürth can already be found in the city's oldest surviving court book from 1440; a Jewish community did not yet exist at that time. In 1528, Margrave Georg the Pious von Ansbach allowed two Jews to settle in the city for six years for protection money. From 1556 the immigration of Jews was also approved in the area of ​​the city subordinated to the Bamberg Cathedral Monastery.

In the 17th century there was a community Talmud school that was highly regarded. The first Jewish cemetery was laid out in 1607, a synagogue was built in 1617 and Germany's first Jewish hospital opened in 1653. In 1670 many Jews were admitted from Vienna, so that in 1716 there were around 400 Jewish families in the city. In 1807, Jews made up 19 percent of the total population. In 1824 the Talmud school was closed by the Bavarian authorities.

A Jewish elementary school was founded in 1862 and a middle school in 1882. The highest number of Jewish citizens was reached in 1880 with around 3300. In 1938, the synagogue was destroyed in the November pogroms of 1938 , and most of the remaining Jewish population was deported to extermination camps from 1941 onwards, despite the repression .

→ Main article : Flight and deportation of Jews from Fürth

After the end of the Second World War, a DP camp for Jewish “ displaced persons ” was set up in Fürth . The camp, which already had 850 residents at the end of 1945, was disbanded in July 1950. The present-day Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Fürth is located at Blumenstrasse 31. It has around 475 members, most of whom are Jews from the former CIS countries .

Islam

The Selimiye Mosque has been in Schwabacher Strasse since 1977 and is maintained by the Turkish Community of Fürth. In 1994 the Mevlana Mosque was opened in Steubenstrasse and is managed by the umbrella organization DITIB .

humanism

Some of the non-denominational people are organized in the Humanist Association , a ideology community of non-religious people. In addition to its ideological work, the association is active in Fürth as the sponsor of several day-care centers, kindergartens and after- school care centers as well as a reform-educational humanistic elementary school in Fürth . With this nationwide first elementary school, the secular school movement, which was crushed by the National Socialists in 1933, is revived.

nature

Quarry in the Fürth city forest

The city ​​ecological nature trail was set up in 1999 (three kilometers, ten stations) and expanded in 2003 to include route B (seven kilometers, ten stations). The starting point for both tours is the Stadthalle underground station . In the course of the nature trail, individual habitats are explained in terms of their importance for the flora and fauna (e.g. St. Michael churchyard, municipal cemetery, Scherbsgraben); Reference is made to the designation of certain areas as landscape protection areas and the problem of environmentally-changing measures such as river straightening. The average sunshine duration is 1766 hours per year.

The Gustav-Adolph-Quelle is at Weikershof, right on the Rednitz. It was revived in 2000 and equipped with a pavilion . Until 1953, the spring water with its 19 degrees warm water was used in a nearby swimming pool. Since its demolition, the water has flowed unused into the river, at least 160 liters per minute. Due to the faint odor of hydrogen sulfide , the source is also called Gaggerlasquelle (Franconian dialect for " egg source ").

The 560 hectare Fürth city forest is home to rare animal species and is therefore a special protected area of ​​European interest in the Natura 2000 habitat network. The forest consists largely of pines mixed with deciduous trees. In the quarries in the Fürth city forest , the castle sandstone was extracted as an important building material until the Middle Ages. Various bat species ( brown long-eared bat , fringed bat and water bat ) and the black woodpecker live in the city forest .

coat of arms

Blazon : “A three-leaf green clover in silver. The three-leaf clover first appeared in the seals of the city in 1562, when it was held by a hand that was surrounded by two crescent moons. "

Reasons for the coat of arms: The origin is not clear. There are three different versions of the history of creation: The shamrock symbolizes the triple rule (approx. 1400–1792) of the margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach, the imperial city of Nuremberg and the cathedral chapter of Bamberg. However, this version is more of a "popular" interpretation that has not been proven and is therefore rather improbable. The three-leaf clover, which is supposed to symbolize unity here, does not coincide with the reality that is lived in the market town, as the three gentlemen set themselves apart from each other and presented anything but “unity”. It is therefore very unlikely that this symbol should represent the city as a unit. In addition to the Protestants and Catholics, there was a strong Jewish community in Fürth. The clover leaf could thus also be seen as a symbol for the peaceful coexistence of three religious communities. However, the version is also more of a popular interpretation and less of a historical view. The most likely version of the three-leaf clover can be found in the official seal of the bailiff Johann Hornung. The three-leaf clover appears for the first time in 1562 in the official seal of the bailiff Johann Hornung of the Bamberg cathedral provost, who has been the first lord of the triple rule since the donation in 1007 by Heinrich II. The "three-leaf clover" is also a symbol of the trinity of God ("three in one": God the Father - God the Son - God the Holy Spirit). This initial official sign was subsequently passed on as a distinguishing mark to the entire village of Fürth and appears for the first time in 1723 in the seal of the market town of Fürth. The cloverleaf was previously published as a stamp by the municipality in 1693.

The city received a new coat of arms in 1818 after it was promoted to first class. It consists of a green clover leaf surrounded by a green oak branch. Both are framed by the symbols of the city - a wall crown with four towers. This coat of arms was used for over 100 years. In 1939 the city arms were simplified. A letter from the Reich Governor Franz Ritter von Epp shows that the crown of the wall and the oak branch have been removed. Only the clover leaf with a border remained. The official coat of arms of the city of Fürth has not changed since 1939. For official occasions such as B. Honors of the city of Fürth, the original coat of arms from 1939 is always used, whereas since 1960 a slightly more "modern" version of the clover leaf with a border has prevailed in the relevant media.

At the same time, the city received a flag that showed two green stripes in white and the coat of arms in the green top. The flag was later simplified to the colors white (above) and green (below).

The city colors are white and green.

Mayor

Up until the end of the 18th century, the city was run by a bambberg bailiff. Two mayors were elected from the city, four until 1697 and eight from 1718. They were supported by “chiefs”.

After the transfer to Bavaria, Fürth became a second class town in 1806 and was directly subordinate to the district administration. Such cities were later called “district-free”. From 1818, Fürth became a first class town and was thus managed by a 1st mayor, who was assisted by a 2nd mayor. Since January 1, 1908, the 1st mayor has held the title of Lord Mayor.

Thomas Jung (SPD) has been Lord Mayor since 2002 .

Economy and Infrastructure

In 2016, Fürth generated a gross domestic product (GDP) of € 4.170 billion within the city limits . In the same year, GDP per capita was € 33,415 (Bavaria: € 44,215 / Germany € 38,180) and thus well below the regional and national average. In 2016 there were around 61,300 gainfully employed people in the city. The unemployment rate in December 2018 was 4.6% and thus above the Bavarian average of 2.7% (in the Fürth district it was 2.4%).

In the 2016 Future Atlas, the urban district of Fürth was ranked 96th out of 402 districts, municipal associations and urban districts in Germany, making it one of the places with “future opportunities”. In the 2019 edition, it was ranked 85th out of 401.

Industry, energy and administration

The toy industry is a major economic factor in Fürth; From small craft businesses to large industrial companies, everything is represented in this sector.

Brewing used to be very important in Fürth. The five largest breweries were Humbser, Geismann , Grüner , Evora & Meyer and Berg Bräu. Around 1900, Fürth even ranked ahead of Munich as a beer town.

The Quelle GmbH , until their liquidation largest mail-order house in Europe, had its headquarters in Fürth. In the post-war period, Grundig founded his empire in Fürth with the Heinzelmann radio model (do-it-yourself kit), see also Fürth Broadcasting Museum . In addition, uvex was founded in Fürth in 1926 and has had its headquarters in Fürth ever since.

Fürth is increasingly relying on solar energy for its energy supply . Fürth is the seat of the non-profit solar information and demonstration center Solid . As early as the end of 2004, photovoltaic systems generated an average of two megawatts of power during the day in sunshine , which were fed into the grid via the local energy supplier infra Fürth . The plant on the former residual waste dump in Atzenhof produced the majority with almost one megawatt of output. At the end of December 2013, 838 photovoltaic systems with a maximum output of 19.2 MW were in operation.

On the Regnitz, shortly after the confluence of the Pegnitz and Rednitz, a new pumping station was built by 2003, which is supposed to ensure the artificial irrigation of the northeastern garlic region.

After several years of renovation of the former headquarters of the Quelle mail order company , it has been the headquarters of the Bavarian State Office for Statistics with around 290 employees since October 1, 2016 .

Airports

Map of European air traffic in 1924 from the Nordisk familjebok

In 1914, an airfield for the third Bavarian Army Corps was built in Atzenhof , which was expanded in the following years. The architecture of the Flugwerft testifies to the great importance of aviation during the First World War .

As Fürth-Nuremberg airport , the airfield was added to the list of international airports after the First World War. This saved him from being completely dismantled. The Fürth-Nuremberg Airport was the eighth largest among the 88 German airports. The Junkers-Werke initially relocated their central repair workshop and later the final assembly of their aircraft from Dessau to the airport, where they produced a.o. a. the first civil all-metal aircraft Junkers F 13 and the Junkers G 24 .

The city of Nuremberg took over the majority of the airport operations in 1928. Until the end of civil flight operations in Atzenhof in 1933, the airfield was called Nürnberg-Fürth , it was replaced by a larger airport at Nuremberg's Marienberg .

The National Socialists had the airport expanded and used it as a flying school. Two large halls, a new shipyard, a command post and a fire station were built .

Culture and sights

City Theater Fürth

Theater, comedy and cultural forum

The Stadttheater Fürth offers cross-disciplinary theater and music events at three venues . With the "3-step model" consisting of guest performances, co-productions and in-house productions, the Stadttheater Fürth presents drama, music theater, dance, concerts and children's and youth theater.

The building was built in 1902 according to plans by the Viennese theater architects Fellner and Helmer , which were based on the forms of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque. The Fürth City Theater is very similar to the City Theater of the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi, which was built by the same architects .

The Comedy Fürth in the Art Nouveau building Berolzheimerianum was founded by the Franconian comedians Volker Heissmann and Martin Rassau . Both are nationally known in their star roles of Waltraud and Mariechen in Fürth dialect. For this purpose, the Comödie Fürth acts as a venue for ensembles from other renowned German boulevard theaters.

In addition to the established event locations, the Fürth Culture Forum has been developing since 1989 . In the old slaughterhouse you will find, among other things, the community-funded art-house cinema Ufer-Palast of the Fürth e. V. and two halls. The Kulturforum is also the preferred venue for the Stage Recreation 27, an amateur theater association.

In 2002 the slaughterhouse was completely renovated and converted into today's Kulturforum Fürth. On the area of ​​the former slaughterhouse , on the banks of the Rednitz near the old town of Fürth, there is the Kulturforum Fürth with two venues and a program of concerts, cabaret and cabaret, literature and readings, visual arts, films (art house cinema Uferpalast), theater productions, other events (such as a puppet theater festival or an international klezmer festival ).

Gastronomy and retail

Gustavstrasse

The Geismannsaal (access Alexanderstraße) built in 1895 was the most important and largest hall in Fürth. The famous poculator (a strong beer) was served in it. The Geismannsaal was demolished in 1982 to make way for the City Center Fürth shopping center .

A number of restaurants have existed since the 16th century on Gustavstrasse near the town hall in the historic center of the city. The street was named after Gustav Adolf in 1632 because he is said to have dined there in an inn. Small pubs, cafés, cocktail bars and restaurants with Franconian cuisine lined up there on both sides. For a number of years there have been disputes (17 complaints) between individual residents, some of whom have moved in with knowledge of the local situation, and the landlords about the noise pollution caused by the catering trade. The city of Fürth has also been sued several times by these residents. At the "Green Market", which is directly adjacent to Gustavstrasse, the restrictions are less and the local restaurants have different requirements.

Further shopping possibilities are mainly offered by the retail stores in the city center, two shopping centers and the weekly markets .

Cityscape

Detail of the juggler fountain on the Green Market

General view of the green market with jugglers' fountain

In contrast to many other cities in Germany, Fürth was relatively little destroyed by bombing raids during World War II, around twelve percent ( air raids on Fürth ). As a result, the historical townscape has largely been preserved, only in a few places was it disturbed by modern additions (e.g. the high-rise buildings at the train station, urban redevelopment south of Königstraße 1978/79, town hall on the Gänsberg ). Measured by the number of inhabitants, Fürth has the fourth highest density of architectural monuments among German cities (17 per 1,000 inhabitants).

Several streets with closed buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries shape the image of the city center, which is why Fürth is considered a city of historicism in terms of art history . In the old town in the area of ​​the town church St. Michael there are also ensembles from the 17th and 18th centuries. Particularly noteworthy are Gustavstrasse and Hornschuchpromenade and Königswarterstrasse in the old town quarter with their diverse apartment buildings from the Wilhelminian era and Art Nouveau . The historical cityscape continues into the southern part of the city, but here you can find former rental houses for workers, which is reflected in a less splendid facade design.

The Fürth town hall , built in the Italian style between 1840 and 1850, is reminiscent of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence and is the city's landmark .

Church building

Michaeliskirche

The oldest surviving church in Fürth is the Protestant Church of St. Michael . It originates mainly from the Gothic period, but was later rebuilt several times. The church is probably the only building still in existence today that survived the great fire of September 8, 1634. An elongated, polygonally broken choir adjoins its nave hall with an asymmetrically integrated, mighty west tower in the east. The atmospheric interior dates back to the 19th century. A specialty is a sacrament house (around 1500).

The Catholic Church of Our Lady (1824–1828) is a classicist building, as is the Protestant Church of the Resurrection (1825/26) in today's city park, which is a former cemetery church and faces north-south. It was only when the plan drawing was discovered in 2001 that it became clear that Leo von Klenze was the architect of the Church of Our Lady .

The neo-Gothic church of St. Paul and the neo-baroque church of St. Heinrich and Kunigunde are located in the southern part of the city . There is also the Catholic parish Christkönig on the Hardhöhe with a church building from the 1970s.

There are also significant church buildings in the other parts of the city, especially the Protestant parish church of St. Peter and Paul in Poppenreuth ; it was the mother church of St. Sebald in Nuremberg until the 13th century .

Profane architectural monuments

Lochner's summer house from SSW, August 8, 2004

Houses in the style of historicism on the Hornschuch promenade

The restored Liershof was built in 1621 (date) as a two-storey square building with high gable walls and a two-storey half-timbered half-timbered house. The Lochner garden house (Theaterstrasse 33) was built around 1700, to which the polygonal stair tower was added in 1750 (dated).

Burgfarrnbach Castle, built between 1830 and 1834, is one of the largest classical palace complexes in southern Germany and today houses the city archive. It was built on behalf of Count Pückler-Limburg by the Royal Bavarian Building Inspector Leonhard Schmidtner on the site of the former moated castle in Burgfarrnbach.

The Fürth town hall , with its 55 m high tower in the Italian style, was built by Georg Friedrich Christian Bürklein with the assistance of Eduard Bürklein , both of Friedrich von Gärtner's pupils , from 1840-1850. The tower is an adapted imitation of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence and is considered a symbol of the city. The construction of the town hall was the result of the elevation to the city II class, i.e. H. the granting of the right to own administration. In the time of the old Reich (before 1806) each of the three Lords of Fürth (Provost of Bamberg, Council of Nuremberg, Margrave of Ansbach) had his representative office in Fürth (office building - today supermarket on the Green Market , St. Michael's Church , escort house - Replaced in 1799 by a new building, which fell victim to the renovation). The building described by the owner as the “former town hall” (300 m south-west of the Michaelskirche) is the old shooting house (house of the shooting society), on the upper floor of which the “whole community” gathered if they wanted to meet without the supervision of the cathedral proponent bailiff. All citizens belonged to the “whole community”; H. all landowners and traders.
