Nuremberg velocipede factory Hercules
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.
Nuremberg
The dating of the first Jewish life in Nuremberg is not clear. Both the year 1096 and the period from 1136 to 1146 are considered probable according to different sources. A document of Henry V (1111-1125) proves a Jewish community for the year 1112. The construction of a synagogue with associated mikvah in the 13th century suggests a certain prosperity of the community.
