The medieval Jewish community had a first cemetery in the 13th century, which was probably located in the area of the still existing "Judengasse". A few remains of this cemetery are still preserved by the fact that several stones were used, for example, in the construction of the Lorenzkirche and were rediscovered (today in the funeral hall of the cemetery on Schnieglinger Straße). This first cemetery was probably destroyed during the terrible persecution in 1298.

In Nuremberg, the Orthodox Jewish association Adas Israel ("Adaß Yisroel", "Israelite Religious Society") existed in the 19th/20th century (from 1874 to 1943) under the umbrella of the liberal main congregation.

120 years of Hercules. 

The development of the two-wheeler industry in Germany began in Neumarkt near Nuremberg. Carl Marschütz, founder of Hercules-Werke, was given a wooden bicycle as a gift when he was 15 years old. A few years later, an Englishman rode through Neumarkt on a steel penny-farthing. Carl Marschütz then took out a loan and bought his own velocipede. The two-wheeler was to fascinate him for the rest of his life.
