RU: Прогулки по времени, DE: Time Walks
Since 2025 I have been organizing “Time Walks” in Nuremberg and Fürth. These are not classic sightseeing tours, but stories about history told at meaningful places — looking for unexpected connections between eras, people and events.
Here are the topics I currently offer:
How the railway made Nuremberg famous
A walk in the footsteps of Germany’s first railway, which connected Nuremberg and Fürth in 1835 (the Ludwig Railway).
Nürnberger Plärrer: always at the center of attention
A square right outside the old city wall that keeps reinventing itself — from the road to Fürth to the tram and the U-Bahn.
How Fürther Straße developed
A transport artery that has seen carriages, steam trains, trams, cars and the U-Bahn come and go.
Maximilianstraße — Nuremberg’s former city boundary
130 years ago the edge of town, today a lively district and crossing point of major transport routes.
The surprising transformations of the Nuremberg/Fürth city boundary
The transformations of a small strip of land between Nuremberg and Fürth, told in eight acts with a prologue and an epilogue.
The steam locomotive arrives in Fürth
The historic route of Germany’s first railway — seen from Fürth’s side.
Doos — a “ghost” village
A village between Nuremberg and Fürth that almost no one remembers today — mills, mineral springs, Bavaria’s first industrial projects.
Charles IV — the emperor from Prague and his Nuremberg
In the footsteps of Emperor Charles IV (1316–1378): the Golden Bull, the Golden Road, the builder of Prague on Nuremberg soil.
The Golden Age of Nuremberg — Dürer & Co.
1450–1550: humanism, the Reformation, Dürer, the first globe, the first pocket watch — the city’s golden age across the whole empire.
The old and new Main–Danube Canal
Along the bed of the old canal (Ludwig Canal) with a view of the new one (Main–Danube Canal).
Dutzendteich — a lost world before the Nazi era
What this area was before the Nazis turned it into the site of their party rallies (1933–1938).
Bavarian kings in the streets of Nuremberg
Streets bearing royal names — Maxplatz, Ludwigstraße — and the story of a short-lived Bavarian kingdom.
The former Nazi party rally grounds
I don’t offer this walk myself — it takes place through Geschichte Für Alle e.V.
NEW: Around the Ship of Fools
What the monuments tell us (spoiler: quite a lot).
