Historic Tours in English
"History for Everyone – Institute for Local History" offers a wide variety of tours which provide you with an opportunity to experience the many-facetted history of the city of Nuremberg. This non-profit making organisation has been involved in presenting local history in Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen and Bamberg since 1985. As well as general presentations of the city's past, it also turns its hand to special topics e.g. the life and work of Albrecht Dürer, the role of Nuremberg in Nationalsocialism, or everyday themes such as the history of the Nuremberg sausage. History for Everyone is particularly concerned to make its subject lively and accessible and to provide visitors from outside Germany with vivid insights into the history and culture of Nuremberg.
