Small history of city
Nuremberg is a city where many German emperors were born and lived in the Middle Ages, and it has a strong historical atmosphere. It used to be the toy manufacturing center of Germany, known as the "toy capital" of Europe, and there is still a unique toy museum in the city.
There are two twin cities in Nuremberg: Felt and Herun Root. The railway from Felt to Nuremberg was the first railway in German history, which opened a chapter and became the starting point of German industrialization. Therefore, the railway museum of the German Federal Railway is located in Nuremberg, but a fire in 2005 almost lost the collection of the museum.
Historically, Nuremberg was one of the ruling central cities under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor of the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation". It is precisely for this reason that the Nazi party tried to paint Nuremberg with a layer of fake gold by virtue of its historical tradition, making Nuremberg the venue of the annual party congress of Nazi Germany. Nuremberg's scenery in Hitler's Germany was infinite, which made the city a key bombing target of the Anglo-American Coalition forces, and an old city with medieval antiquity was razed to the ground. Although it was rebuilt after the war, it no longer has the style of that year. It was here that the famous anti-Semitism "Nuremberg Act" of the Third Reich was promulgated, which set off a vicious wave of ethnic cleansing.
The Nuremberg trial to liquidate Nazi war criminals after World War II was held here. After the war, Nuremberg gradually became dull and returned to the role of regional central city.
