Erlangen - a city with the highest quality of life
Lord Mayor Jörg Volleth on his home town: "We live here in a small city with an attractive job and housing market as well as an optimal medical care structure. Erlangen therefore offers many people the highest quality of life and a good range of leisure activities. I particularly like the fact that, despite its size, our city is well connected and people often know each other. In addition, our many students bring life and a very special flair to our city."
Which three places are a must-see? Lord Mayor Jörg Volleth names his favorites: "Our beautiful palace garden with its surrounding sights and its floral splendor is of course well-known to everyone and very well visited, especially on nice days. You should also visit the cellar district on Erlangen's Burgberg, which attracts huge numbers of visitors, especially during our legendary Bergkirchweih. I also find our many districts particularly worth seeing, with their diverse history from patrician villages to former monastery villages and their impressive buildings."
