geography

The Werderau is framed by Nopitschstrasse (Südring), the A73 , the Südwesttangente and the Treuchtlingen – Nuremberg railway line , starting in the north and clockwise . The tracks of the marshalling yard divide the district into a northern and a southern part. In the public consciousness, often only the southern part is seen as Werderau.

history

From 1910/11, a residential complex for workers and senior employees of the MAN company was built on the site of the Gibitzenhof community, which was incorporated into Nuremberg in 1899 . The founding of Werderau was an idea by Anton von Rieppel , who was then general manager of MAN. The settlement got its name from the technician Johann Ludwig Werder . In order to achieve the most natural urbanity possible, angled buildings were built around a central square, the Volckamerplatz, on which a monument was erected to Anton von Rieppel. The construction phase dragged on until the 1930s. The architect Ludwig Ruff was also involved in many other buildings in Nuremberg.
