Erlangen—a city with an exceptional quality of life
Mayor Jörg Volleth on his hometown: “We live here in a small metropolis with an attractive job and housing market, as well as an excellent healthcare system. As a result, Erlangen offers many people a high quality of life and a wide range of recreational activities. I particularly like that, despite its size, our city has a close-knit community where people often know one another. Plus, our many students bring life and a very special atmosphere to our city.”
Which three places are absolute must-sees? Mayor Jörg Volleth names his favorites: “Well known to everyone and, especially on nice days, very popular is, of course, our beautiful palace garden with its surrounding sights and magnificent flowers. You should also check out the Kellerviertel neighborhood on Erlangen’s Burgberg, which attracts huge crowds of visitors, particularly during our legendary Bergkirchweih festival. But I also find our many neighborhoods particularly worth seeing; with their diverse histories—ranging from patrician villages to former monastic settlements—and their impressive buildings, they have a lot to offer.”
