Synopsis

In 2002, Erlangen celebrated its 1000th birthday - reason enough, this city, whose name was named in 1002 under Henry II. was first mentioned in documents with an illustrated story. In his stimulating and extraordinarily informative representation, the widely recognized historian Martin Schieber opens a new access to the history of Erlangen. He has been exploring for years the versatile and changeable history of the old Franconian settlement, which has gained importance over the centuries as a Huguenot city, as a university town, as a beer city and for about fifty years also as an important centre of modern technology in Germany. The book draws a vivid and multifaceted picture of the secret metropolis of Franconia. The numerous illustrations illustrate path and turning marks in Erlangen's past. A special merit of the book lies in the fact that it appreciates the beauty of the city, its historical, cultural and economic importance and equally illuminates the dark sides of Erlangen history during the Nazi period - such as the dubious "honorary title" First National Socialist University of the Empire and the Jewish pogroms.
