Why the people of Nuremberg weren't allowed to go to Fürth & other Fair stories

The Michaelis-Kirchweih Fair is undoubtedly the most important event in the Fürth calendar. It's the mix that makes it so special: it's both a fair and a market. People come from all over the region to the Fädder Kärwa. After all, it is over 900 years old. This tour explores the historical origins of the festival and recounts many curiosities about the Queen of Franconian Kirchweih Fairs, not to mention the story of how the council of the imperial city of Nuremberg did not want to allow its citizens to attend the Fürther Kirchweih Fair.

"Why the people of Nuremberg weren't allowed to go to Fürth...”
a) because they only waste their money on food, drink, and gambling
b) because they should kindly consume the city's own bratwurst in Nuremberg
c) because Fürth captivates you
Is that really true? Find out what the arch-enmity between Nuremberg and Fürth was all about on a humorous guided tour. Join me on an exciting journey through time and experience how the queen of Franconian church consecrations has changed over the centuries.
