Commemorative Plaque Marking the Turkey-Germany Recruitment Agreement

The recruitment agreement between Turkey and Germany will mark its 65th anniversary in the fall of 2026. Over the course of these 65 years, several thousand people have come to Erlangen from Turkey. Some stayed only for a few years; many stayed forever. They have become residents of Erlangen, are part of the community, contribute to it, and help shape the city’s diverse society.

Commemorating the Victims of Racist Violence

10 + 1 — The city of Erlangen commemorates the nine people with immigrant backgrounds and one policewoman who were murdered by the NSU between 2000 and 2007. In the summer of 2018, the verdict was handed down in the NSU trial, a verdict that is unsatisfactory for the victims and their surviving relatives, as well as for the democratically minded population.

Plans and projects

"Axis of Science" Center for the Humanities

"The Future of Elementary Schools and Full-Day Care" Program

Starting in the 2026–2027 school year, the legal entitlement for elementary school children—initially for first graders—will take effect. This entitlement will be gradually expanded to include subsequent grade levels in the years that follow. The legal entitlement is intended to guarantee full-day educational and care services for schoolchildren. This imposes an obligation on the City of Erlangen to consider how to ensure this legal entitlement through youth services and schools, to take appropriate measures, and, in particular, to make elementary schools “structurally ready” for this purpose.

A73 Highway Overpass

Together with the Free State of Bavaria and the federal government’s Autobahn GmbH, the city of Erlangen is seeking solutions to improve noise protection in the urban area along the A 73 federal highway. Residents of the adjacent residential areas would benefit most from a potential enclosure of the highway.
