We are committed to anti-discrimination

Erlangen Declaration on Diversity, Respect, and Tolerance

In its 10th anniversary year, the Office for Equal Opportunity and Diversity / International Relations focused on bringing together various stakeholders in the city’s civil society. Working together in solidarity, 2,025 dedicated members of Erlangen’s urban community—representing a wide range of sectors in civil society, business, and academia—drafted the “Erlangen Declaration on Diversity, Respect, and Tolerance.” We would like to briefly outline the process that led to this declaration.

Plans and projects

"Axis of Science" Center for the Humanities

In the coming years, the “Axis of Science” will take shape in downtown Erlangen along Fahrstraße and Sieboldstraße, between the Kollegienhaus and the “Himbeerpalast.” Various new educational institutions, residential units, and commercial spaces will be built there.

"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.
Plans and projects

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.

City-Suburban Rail

The City-Suburban Railway (StUB) is intended to connect the cities of Nuremberg, Erlangen, and Herzogenaurach as a tram system and help secure the region’s future by serving as an efficient, environmentally friendly, accessible, and attractive alternative to car travel. The StUB offers the opportunity for sustainable mobility, particularly for the large number of commuters along the urban corridor.

With the “Klima-Aufbruch” initiative, the city of Erlangen has embraced its role as an active driver of greenhouse gas neutrality. Through a unique participatory process, we worked together with initiatives, associations, businesses, the scientific community, and citizens to develop the “Klima-Aufbruch” roadmap—a catalog of 41 measures.
