Publications on the history of the city

Historical and political public relations work is a central task of the city archive. Our research results in many areas of Erlangen's city history are published in the form of books. They can be purchased at the city archive or in bookshops. Erlangen was first mentioned in a document issued without a place or date, presumably in 1002.
