Time Walks

RU: Прогулки по времени, DE: Zeitwanderungen

Since 2025 I have been organizing “Time Walks” in Nuremberg.
These are not exactly traditional guided tours, but rather historical storytelling walks in meaningful locations, where we connect places, events, people, and time periods — spatially, historically, and dynastically.

Topics

Here is a sample list of topics I can offer for a walk:

  • How the Railway Made Nuremberg Famous — the first railway in Germany, Nuremberg–Fürth (1835)
    • The Surprising Metamorphoses of the Nuremberg/Fürth City Border (19th–20th century)
    • The Steam Locomotive Arrives in Fürth (19th–20th century)
    • Doos — The Ghost Village
    • How Fürther Straße Was Formed
    • Nürnberger Plärrer: Always in the Center of Attention
  • Charles IV — The Emperor from Prague and His Nuremberg (14th century)
  • The Golden Age of Nuremberg — Dürer & Co. (15th–16th century)
  • The Old and the New Main–Danube Canal (19th and 20th century)
  • The Penultimate City Wall (13th century)
  • Jews in Old Nuremberg (14th–15th and 19th century)
  • King Maximilian Joseph I and How Nuremberg Became Bavarian (early 19th century)
  • Bavarian Kings in the Streets of Nuremberg (19th century)
  • From the Former Railway Station to the Former Port — Along Rothenburger Straße (19th–20th century)
  • The Swedes in Nuremberg
  • The Prussians in Nuremberg

All walks can also be conducted in a virtual format, using Google Maps, the Historical Atlas of Bavaria, and historical images.
