Fürth: City of Monuments Right Next to Nuremberg
for newcomers
Fürth had around 131,300 inhabitants at the end of 2025 and, after Nuremberg and Würzburg, is the third-largest city in Franconia. The historic core lies east and south of the Rednitz and Pegnitz, which merge here to form the Regnitz; Nuremberg adjoins directly to the east, and the Knoblauchsland market-garden area to the north. Fürth owes its nickname Cloverleaf City (Kleeblattstadt) to its coat of arms. Measured by population, the city has the fourth-highest density of listed buildings among Germany's large cities – unbroken rows of Gründerzeit and Art Nouveau buildings shape the city centre. The biggest folk festival is the Michaeliskirchweih in autumn.
Important for work are Uvex with its headquarters and production, the Leonhard Kurz Stiftung on Schwabacher Straße, the toy makers Simba-Dickie and Bruder, Trolli, the BSH central warehouse in Sack and several Siemens sites. Since 2016 the Bavarian State Office for Statistics has been based in the former Quelle building. The U1 and S-Bahn run to Nuremberg, and the S1 to Erlangen. We do not quote specific rents because we have no reliable source. We handle the move from Berlin as a home removal.

Who Does What When Moving to Fürth
Clear tasks before moving day
We have no branch in Fürth: the lorry sets off from Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and drives around 456 km via the A9, A3 and A73. Beforehand we ask about the floor, lift and access – whether in the city centre, the Südstadt or Stadeln. On request we apply in good time to the responsible authority for the parking restriction zone (Halteverbotszone) outside the new address. We give you the fixed price after the survey; liability is under § 451e HGB (€620 per m³). You register at the Süd or Nord (Stadeln) citizens' centres yourself – according to the city within two weeks, free of charge and by appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Living in Fürth
Districts in Fürth: City Centre, Südstadt and the Villages
The city centre is shaped by unbroken rows of Gründerzeit and Art Nouveau apartment buildings. The historic townscape continues into the Südstadt, where former workers' houses are more typical. Poppenreuth lies east of the old core beyond the Pegnitz, Dambach west of the Südstadt; Burgfarrnbach, with its neoclassical palace, lies to the north-west beyond the canal and has not grown together with the city.
In total, Fürth is divided into ten cadastral districts, including Ronhof, Sack, Stadeln, Unterfarrnbach and Vach. In the north the city area extends into the Knoblauchsland, and in the west the Fürth city forest rises. The U1 ends at the Hardhöhe. We do not quote specific rents; compare offers on the usual portals and pay attention to proximity to the U-Bahn or S-Bahn.
Working, Studying and Commuting: Fürth in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Area
Together with Nuremberg and Erlangen, Fürth forms the core of the metropolitan area. The largest employers include the Leonhard Kurz Stiftung and Uvex, plus Simba-Dickie, Bruder Spielwaren, Trolli, the BSH central warehouse in Sack and several Siemens sites. The Bavarian State Office for Statistics has had its headquarters in the former Quelle building since 2016.
Fürth has been a university city since 2004 thanks to a central institute of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg; since 2012 there has also been the Wilhelm Löhe Hochschule for health and social professions. Commuters use the U1 to Nuremberg, the S1 to Erlangen and Bamberg and the S6 towards the west. The biggest festival is the Michaeliskirchweih in September and October, which has been celebrated for more than 800 years.

Registration in Fürth: Deadline, Citizens' Centres and Digital Residence Registration
Anyone moving into a flat in Fürth must, according to the Fürth service portal, register within two weeks of moving in. This also applies to a move within the city. Missing the deadline is an administrative offence and can be punished with a fine of up to 1,000 euros. Registration itself is free of charge.
- In person: registrations, deregistrations and changes of address are possible at the Süd and Nord (Stadeln) citizens' centres. An on-site appointment is required for this. According to the city, short-notice appointments are released daily from Monday to Friday at around 11.00 am. If you cannot keep an appointment, you must cancel it via the cancellation link in the confirmation e-mail.
- Bring: the registration form, the ID card or passport of all persons to be registered and the landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung).
- Digital: registration is also possible via the federal portal wohnsitzanmeldung.gov.de, with BayernID or BundID and the online ID function.
Important: registrations in advance are not permitted. The moving-in date must match the date on the landlord confirmation; otherwise the registration is automatically rejected and can then only be done on site.
On the page Digital move the city explains that the service is being activated in stages and can initially be used by adults living alone without minor children. Afterwards, a short visit to the citizens' office is needed to update the address on your ID card; express appointments are available for this. Further registration steps can be found under Change of address: who to inform?.
Everyday Life in Fürth: Parking Restriction, Vehicle and U-Bahn to Nuremberg
Around the move and everyday life in Fürth, three points are worth a look. First, the parking restriction: in its service portal the city lists setting up a parking restriction zone for a move as a case for a traffic order. The road traffic office, traffic supervision section, is responsible. The application should normally be submitted at least two weeks in advance; it must include a written application with location and time frame as well as a traffic sign plan. For signage orders, the city generally states fees between €10.20 and €767.00.
Second, the vehicle: according to the service portal, there is no fixed deadline for re-registration after a change of residence; however, the deadline for the general inspection (Hauptuntersuchung) continues to run. Among other things, you need the registration certificate part I, your ID and the insurer's eVB number.
Third, transport links: in its list of lines, the Greater Nuremberg Transport Association (VGN) lists the U-Bahn U1 from Fürth Hardhöhe via Nürnberg Plärrer and the main station to Langwasser Süd. The VGN also lists connections on the Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen, Forchheim and Bamberg route as well as city lines that connect Fürth main station with Stadeln and the hospital.
