history

In the Middle Ages, the swampy lowlands north of Nuremberg were mainly used to deposit the large quantities of faeces in the imperial city. At that time the area was neither used for agriculture nor was it particularly populated. Marienberg is not yet available in the Bavarian original cadastre from 1808, but the farm road to the edge of the Loher Moos forest (the unloading areas) is. Approximately 1817 to 1841 were first Weiher applied and a Weiherer where he built his house and two outbuildings. In 1845 it came into the possession of the Tucher von Simmelsdorf , became an estate and developed into an excursion business. Industrialization did not initially reach the town, which is remote from the point of view of traffic, because the manufacturing industry settled in the second half of the 18th century, preferably in the south of Nuremberg. There were ideal transport connections with the Ludwig Canal and the first railway lines.

The area came into the public eye in the 1930s, when the Fürth-Atzenhof airfield became too small and the Nuremberg-Marienberg airport was created there as a showcase project under the gigantism of National Socialism . The opening was in 1933; new traffic routes and surrounding infrastructure were created. In 1943, after Allied air raids, everything was largely in ruins again. Only the administration building remained (Großreuther Str. 15) and later served as a vehicle registration office. At the beginning of the 1950s, the rubble was pushed together to form the twenty meter high Marienbuck and renatured, the new airport opened in 1955 (today: "Albrecht-Dürer-Airport") 2 km north.

This is now the largest park in Nuremberg and offers allotment gardens , public barbecue areas as well as play and sunbathing areas in summer and toboggan mountains and cross-country skiing trails in winter. There is a small pond near the north-western edge of the park.

The city nursery has also settled on the spacious area in the southwest, and some sports facilities and terraced houses have been built.
