History for All - Institute for Regional History

The association history for all e. V. was founded in 1985 by a group of history students from Erlangen to “promote young historians” - so the original subtitle. From a student initiative, which from the beginning pursued the goal of researching regional history and communicating it to different target groups, an association with over 1200 members and professional structures has grown up to this day, which now has twelve employees and over 250 honorary employees. The seat of the association is Nuremberg, but the field of activity includes the entire region of Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen and Bamberg.

City tours

The numerous from Geschichte Für Alle e. V. topics of the city tours offered in Nuremberg , Erlangen , Fürth and Bamberg range from everyday, social and cultural-historical topics to the history of the city district and nationally important topics such as

Nuremberg as a significant city in the late Middle Ages
Fürth as the former center of southern German Jewry
Erlangen as a prime example of a baroque planned city
Bamberg as a spiritual residence
Albrecht Dürer as the most important German artist of his time
the party rallies of the NSDAP as a central event of the National Socialist propaganda
the Nuremberg Trials as a large-scale attempt to cope with state crimes with the means of the judiciary .

The extensive range of city tours with around 250 different topics is expanded every year with new offers for different target groups such as children, young people, adults, senior citizens, company groups, locals and tourists. In 2001 the field of activity was expanded to include the city of Bamberg: since this year the activities of the Bamberger Schleichwegla e. V. within the association Geschichte Für Alle e. V. continued and set up a second office in Bamberg.
