structure

Four to six-storey blocks of flats (some with front gardens) still characterize the quarter today. In a few cases, similar to gardens hdV, generous town houses from the turn of the century with imaginatively decorated facades can still be found today. In the area of ​​the first expansion zone in the south there are also some relatively simple houses in the Nuremberg style with echoes of the neo-Gothic style . The stately neo-baroque houses with high storeys and fin-de-siècle architecture that were built around the turn of the century - as in many inner city districts - fell victim to the air raids of the Second World War. Today, Maxfeld is mainly characterized by the reconstruction architecture of the 1950s and 1960s and although there is no longer any closed street scenes from the Wilhelminian era, the traditional, dense block structure of the town plan laid out here in the 19th century has remained almost unchanged.

On the spacious, now vacated, former premises of the Tucher Brewery (formerly Siechen, then Tucher-Siechen, then Brau AG) between Schillerplatz, Schillerstraße, Rollnerstraße and Friedensstraße, except for the brick brewery tower and the brewhouse with its segmented brick facade currently the 'Nordstadt-Gardens', a new residential area in compact urban design with 900 projected apartments.

Maxfeld is mixed up; Apart from the upper Pirckheimerstraße and the busy Bayreuther Straße, it is mostly considered to be medium to good, in some areas (Stadtpark, Parkstraße and Maxtorgraben) also very good residential areas. There are many shops, medical practices and a large bowling center on Pirckheimerstrasse and Bayreuther Strasse.

history

The Maxfeld was named after the Bavarian King Maximilian II . In 1856 the old town of Nuremberg was opened to the northern urban expansion area by the new Maxtor . In the same year, the Judenbühl was renamed Maxfeld. So the name Maxvorstadt was temporarily adopted. Colloquially, however, the quarter is often only (summarized with the gardens behind the fortress) called 'Nordstadt'.

The district originally consisted of orchards and fields before block development began here, beginning around 1865, as a city expansion. The initially rather loose development was forced and increasingly condensed from around 1880. At the beginning of the 20th century, in the course of the rapid growth of the city during the industrialization phase, the remaining areas were built on. Many of the original buildings, which were only around 30 years old at the time, have already been replaced in favor of denser and higher development. The gardens were completely built over in the Wilhelminian era.

Attractions

To the east of Maxfeld is the extensive Nuremberg City Park with the Neptune Fountain, which was moved there in 1962 .

traffic

The underground line U3 with the stations Maxfeld and Kaulbachplatz opens up the Maxfeld. The underground line 2 touches Maxfeld with the Rennweg underground station . The Kaulbachplatz underground station, which is already in the gardens behind the fortress, was only opened on December 10, 2011 when the timetable changed; at the same time, tram line 9, which opened up Maxfeld along Pirckheimerstraße in an east-west direction, was discontinued despite considerable resistance. In the north-south direction, the city bus routes 46 and 47 serve the district in the direction of the northern old town (city center).

The Pirckheimerstraße, which runs tangentially to the city center and connects Rennweg with gardens behind the Veste and St. Johannis, crosses Maxfeld in the upper and middle section in an east-west direction and represents the main street of the district.
