history

In 1857 the city acquired the Scherleinsgarten at the instigation of the Second Mayor Christoph von Seiler ; The bottle yard was added in 1860. These formed the core of the first planned city expansion of Nuremberg. The Marientor , built in 1859 according to plans by Bernhard Solger , enabled direct access to the Sebald city center . The new suburb was named after the wife of the Bavarian King Maximilian II . The first development was carried out according to plans by Bernhard Solger and was completed after the last building site was sold in 1886. The district was designed as an upscale area, resulting in an open design with front gardens and green spaces and the character of a garden city .

In air raids on Nuremberg in the Second World War, the Marie suburbs was almost completely destroyed. Only a few buildings could be restored during the reconstruction, the quarter was rebuilt as a business district, whereby the original character was lost.
