history

Around 3000 BC BC there was probably the first settlement. In the vicinity of the Eichenlöhleins excavations in 2001 and 2005 discovered a settlement - probably of Late Bronze Age origin.

Around 1200 AD the settlement of citizens took place, who received a fief in the middle or on the edge of the Reichswald. Their names were probably Worzer, Herper, Bilo and Gulo. The community is mentioned for the first time in the Nuremberg Salbuch in 1250.

Around 1890, many workers settled in the area who worked in the quarry and later in the brick factory. At that time there were about 300 inhabitants in the core community Altworzeldorf. Increased immigration of new residents was recorded in the 1940s and 1950s, when many refugees and bomb victims settled here.

There was a further increase in population in the 1970s when new jobs were created in Nuremberg and, as a result, the number of inhabitants also rose to over 10,000 in the south of Nuremberg.

Originally, people lived there who, in addition to quarrying, mainly worked in agriculture. Today most of the residents have their workplaces in Nuremberg.

Today the place is known far beyond the borders of Nuremberg for cycling. The RC Herpersdorf club, founded in 1919, produced numerous successful cyclists.
