Map of the district of Fürth

The district of Fürth is a district west of the cities of Fürth and Nuremberg in the Bavarian administrative district of Middle Franconia . The district is a member of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region .

geography

location

The district of Fürth includes the cities of Zirndorf , Stein and Oberasbach , but not the eponymous city of Fürth itself, which is independent . Towards the west, the district merges into the agricultural region of western Central Franconia . In terms of area, the Fürth district is the smallest district in Bavaria. The landscape is shaped by the south-west German plains: the plateau of the sandstone keupers is cut through by the Bibert , the Zenn and smaller rivers in wide valleys. Due to the abundant teaching mountain layers (clays) there is a rich brick industry in the northern district, especially in Langenzenn .

Neighboring areas

The district borders clockwise to the north, beginning with the district of Erlangen-Höchstadt , the independent cities of Erlangen , Fürth and Nuremberg, and the districts of Roth , Ansbach and Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim .

history

Until 1862

Before 1800, the area of ​​today's Fürth district belonged to different rulers, including the Burgraviate of Nuremberg and the Principality of Ansbach . In 1806 the area came to Bavaria. In 1808 the Cadolzburg district court was established, which initially belonged to the Pegnitz district and from 1810 to the Rezat district . As early as 1809, Fürth became a city ​​in the immediate vicinity of a district.

District Office

In the spring of 1862, the new district court of the older order Fürth was formed from a total of 18 communities from the district courts of Cadolzburg, Erlangen and Nuremberg. In the same year, this merged with the Cadolzburg district court to form the Fürth district office . Although the city of Fürth became the administrative seat of the new district, it remained independent.

On January 1, 1900, the Fürth district office handed over the Poppenreuth community to the city of Fürth. On January 1, 1901, Dambach also came to Fürth. Unterfarrnbach followed on January 1, 1918.

On November 1, 1923, Schnepfenreuth was incorporated into Nuremberg. Burgfarrnbach came to Fürth on December 3, 1923, and Buch to Nuremberg on May 1, 1924 .

Ronhof was given to the city of Fürth on July 1, 1927, Höfles on April 1, 1928 and Kraftshof to the city of Nuremberg on January 1, 1930.

On October 1, 1931, the community of Puschendorf of the district office of Höchstadt an der Aisch came to the district office of Fürth.

district

On January 1, 1939, the designation district was introduced as everywhere else in the German Reich . So the district office became the district of Fürth.

On January 1, 1972, the Kirchfembach community in the Neustadt an der Aisch district was reorganized into the Fürth district and incorporated into the town of Langenzenn .

The district was badly affected by the territorial reform that came into force on July 1, 1972. The communities Boxdorf , Großgründlach and Neunhof came to the independent city of Nuremberg, while the communities Sack , Stadeln and Vach came to the independent city of Fürth. Since the district became the smallest district in terms of area in Bavaria, a division of the remaining area into the neighboring districts of Ansbach and Neustadt an der Aisch as well as the city of Nuremberg was under discussion, but the planning was discarded. To compensate for the loss of the agricultural and economically strong communities in the north, the district of Fürth received the town of Stein from the then district of Nuremberg and the communities of Katterbach and Wilhermsdorf from the district of Neustadt an der Aisch.

In spring 2003, the district seat of the Fürth district was relocated to Zirndorf after a new district office had been built there. Since then, the district administration has been located within the district area.

Population development

From 1988 to 2008 the district of Fürth grew by around 18,600 inhabitants or around 19%. Growth has slowed in recent years.

The following figures refer to the territorial status on May 25, 1987.

The election was repeated on November 16, 2014, when the turnout fell from 53% to 29%.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the Fürth district
Blazon : “Above a shortened red tip, inside a vertically standing golden ear, on top of which an above silver cogwheel growing from the lower edge of the shield, split; in front in silver half a red eagle with gold armor at the slit, with a golden clover stem on the wing, in the back divided diagonally five times by red and silver. "
Foundation of the coat of arms: The red eagle was the symbol of the principality of Ansbach, red and silver the colors of the burgraviate of Nuremberg, ears of wheat and cogwheel stand for agriculture and industry.

The old logo, a circle with a color gradient from white to green, touched by three blue stripes, was replaced by a modernized version in 2009 after about 15 years of validity. The new logo adopts the dominant heraldic colors of silver, black and red in the district coat of arms . The circle became a three-dimensional ring made of silver with black shading, which is touched by three red stripes. In contrast to the old logo, these are no longer the same length and are intended to symbolize the cities of Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen on the one hand, and to represent an F on the other . A new claim has been added:Capable of performing. Life is happy ”, in which the district's initials L and F can be found.

District partnerships

In 1972 the sponsorship for the expelled Sudeten Germans from the city of Haida, the city and the district of Bohemian Leipa and the city and the district of Dauba was taken over.

Economy and Infrastructure

Administration building of the Cadolto company
prefabricated building (2008)

The district is more agricultural. Well-known companies based in the district are the Playmobil manufacturer Geobra Brandstätter and the Metz-Werke in Zirndorf, Faber-Castell in Stein and the Cadolto company from Cadolzburg. Brick factories can still be found in Langenzenn today . The first Playmobil FunPark opened in the Zirndorf district of Leichendorf in 2000 .

Road traffic

There is no motorway in the area of ​​the district. The district is traversed in the north by the B 8 (Nuremberg - Würzburg), with the B 8 between the city limits of Fürth and beyond Langenzenn being developed like a motorway. The so-called Südwesttangente was originally planned as the A 752. In the south of the district, the B 14 (Pilsen - Nuremberg - Stuttgart) runs from Stein to Buchschwabach .

License Plate

On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive sign when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It is still issued today.

Local public transport

In 1844, a railway operated for the first time with the construction of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn in the Fürth district. From here the route to Würzburg branched off in Fürth in 1865 . The Nuremberg – Crailsheim railway has been running through the south of the district since 1875 . The surrounding area was later developed by three local railways:

The Bavarian State Railways ran the Zenngrundbahn from Siegelsdorf to Langenzenn in 1872 , to Wilhermsdorf in 1895 and finally to Markt Erlbach in 1902. This was followed by the local railway company Munich in 1890/92 with the Rangaubahn (popularly Moggerla) from Fürth via Zirndorf to Cadolzburg.

Finally, in 1914, another local railway of the Bavarian State Railways was added, the Bibertbahn (in common parlance Bibert-Bärbel), which separated from the Ansbacher Hauptbahn in Nürnberg-Stein and ran via Fürth Süd and Zirndorf-Altenberg in the direction of Unterstbibert-Rügland. Passenger traffic on this line was completely shut down in 1971 from Großhabersdorf and in 1986. This has reduced the railway network by almost a quarter from 87 km to 69 km.

Since then, the Bibert Valley has been served by a bus line operated by Omnibusverkehr Franken (OVF). The future of the track between Leichendorf and Stein is uncertain. Various plans in the 1990s provided for a connection between the stump and the Rangau Railway. The plans failed due to economic viability, the subway construction plans in Nuremberg and political resistance in the district. Instead of or until the Nuremberg U3 underground line continues into the district, operations on the route are to be resumed. The Bibertbahn interest group is committed to this.

The rest of the district is served by bus lines and at night and on weekends by a shared call taxi . In addition, the night buses called Night-Liner run every hour between the Fürth town hall or Nuremberg main station and individual district communities on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays and bridging days . Since the start of the Verkehrsverbund Großraum Nürnberg (VGN), you only need a ticket to use local public transport.

Various plans exist or have existed to extend the Nuremberg U-Bahn (e.g. line U2 to Stein bei Nürnberg or line U3 to Oberasbach ) or the Erlangen city-surrounding railway into the district, but there are none as of 2018 concrete plans known.
