Fürth is a town directly subordinate to a region as opposed to a district. The Middle Franconian town was named “city of science” as a present for their 1000th anniversary in 2007. Erlangen, Fürth and Nuremberg form a relevant business location in Bavaria.
One of Germany’s largest mail-order firms, the Quelle GmbH, has its central office in Fürth. Due to several family businesses, Fürth also is the centre for the toy industry. Another relevant business sector in Fürth is the energy industry, especially solar energy. Fürth is home to the solar information and demonstration centre Solid.
Fürth, via Nuremberg, is optimally connected to the rail network. You will find a choice of hotels near the station.
In Fürth you will find numerous nice hotels, which will all provide for a comfortable stay. They range from modern luxury hotels to the large hotel chains to small family-run hotels.
In Fürth’s restaurants, which often belong to one of the hotels, you will mainly be offered regional dishes, which definitely should be tried. We especially recommend Franconian wine.
If you want to relax, pay a visit to Fürth’s town park. You should not miss the Jewish Museum, the Fürth Radio Museum and the Town Museum. Another beautiful sight is the Fürth town hall with a tower that measures 55 meter / 60 yards, which was built in the 19th century. The Grüne Markt (Green Marketsquare) is meeting point for travellers from all over the world.
Fürth awards the Jakob Wassermann literary prize.
