The top 5 most interesting neighbourhoods in Fürth
1. The Old Town
The Old Town of Fürth combines historic charm with vibrant diversity. Along Gustavstraße—the beating heart of the district—listed townhouses line the streets, now home to numerous cafés, restaurants and pubs. This lively mix is complemented by independent shops, traditional craft businesses and small galleries. Fürth’s Old Town is not only architecturally impressive, but also a beloved meeting place for connoisseurs, explorers and culture enthusiasts.

2. Neighborhood behind Town Hall
Between Town Hall and the Uferpromenade lies a neighborhood that may not boast any major landmarks—and yet is, in itself, a single attraction. Built in the second half of the 19th century, its clearly structured streets still reflect the spirit of industrialization today: functional, orderly, and yet full of attention to detail. This is where the middle class once lived and worked; the courtyards housed workshops, small factories, and commercial enterprises—living and working were closely intertwined. Many of the Keuper sandstone houses feature unique façades, and entire streets can be stylistically attributed to individual decades. It is a neighborhood that has evolved organically—and where many people still feel at home today. World-famous figures also come from here—Henry Kissinger, for example, was born at Mathildenstraße 23.

Anyone visiting here will immediately sense its special atmosphere: between the Town Hall and Fürther Freiheit, the spacious pedestrian zone invites you to stroll and linger. Numerous shops—from well-known brands to distinctive, owner-run boutiques—make shopping a real pleasure. The city center also has much to offer in culinary terms: cozy cafés, international cuisine and traditional Franconian specialities.

The district surrounding the Municipal Park in southeastern Fürth combines urban life with green recreation. Characterized by magnificent Art Nouveau and Wilhelminian-style buildings along the Hornschuchpromenade, the area offers remarkable architectural diversity. The expansive Municipal Park—affectionately known as the “secret love” of many Fürth residents—captivates with its variety: the Rose Garden, Reception Garden, School Garden, and old trees invite visitors to linger, as do events such as the popular Summer Night Ball. Excellent transport connections via Jakobinenstraße subway station make the district particularly appealing for those who want to live close to nature while still being centrally located.

5. Southern District
The southern part of Fürth is a vibrant district rich in history, striking architecture, and modern amenities. From the 19th century onwards, the area expanded rapidly, driven by industrialization and the arrival of the railway. Influential companies such as the Humbser Brewery left their mark, as did impressive buildings: the grand Logenhaus (Masonic Lodge), the neoclassical school building, and the Nordwestliche Südstadt ensemble still bear witness to the heyday of this neighborhood. An architectural landmark is St. Paul’s Church, inaugurated in 1900. Today, the extensive Südstadtpark, created on the site of the former US barracks, invites visitors to relax. The Südstadt also boasts a vibrant culinary scene—from cozy cafés such as Café Zanetta to creative cuisine—making it an attractive district with a high quality of life.
