The Nürnberg Tafelwerk was an iron rolling mill, founded by Julius Tafel in 1875 . It was one of the large industrial complexes in Nuremberg and what was once the largest German welding iron rolling mill from the 19th and 20th centuries. After the death of the company founder, in 1900 the name was changed from "Julius Tafel & Co. (Tafelwerk)" to "Eisenwerk Nürnberg AG". The heyday of the plant was over well before the Second World War, and the pressure of competition in the industry grew ever greater. In 1975, the year of the 100th anniversary, the now obsolete plant was closed.
