I'm Andreas, a 30 year old German born and raised in Nuremberg. The first walking tour tour I joined was with my grandfather who lived in Nuremberg for 86 years. He showed his 5 year old grandson his city. Now, 25 years later, I want to do the same to you and show you my city. This is my mission. Since I started this, a lot changed. Now we are an international team of born Nuremberg citizen, Italian historians and Columbian lawyers. We offer professional and passionate old-town tours in English, Spanish and German in the cities Nuremberg and Bamberg! We do what we do, because we love it and therefore we are happy to being your Gurus in Nuremberg and in Bamberg! For more check also our website at https://www.nurembergfreetour.com/

Tour description

From 1933 to 1945 Adolf Hitler's Party ruled over Germany. In line with the earlier two "German" empires, the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and the German Empire, he wanted to build a third one, bigger, more successful, and more German than anything that was there before. He called it: The Third Empire, „das Dritte Reich". His dictatorship leads to Holocaust, World War II, and, after its end, to a whole new world order. 

Nuremberg played a major role in this tragedy as it was the Nazis’ ideological capital.

On our tour, we'll take you to the National Party Rally Grounds, „Das Reichsparteitagsgelände“, an enormous Propaganda-City that was planned and built to hold annual, week-long celebrations of the Party, Germany, and Nazi Ideology. In the sight of the remains of the Congress Hall and Zeppelin-Field, where hundreds of thousands were marching and hailing the dictator, you’ll understand, how and why Hitler’s Propaganda worked. 

We'll start in the old town, where you’ll learn about how the jewish community was deported to concentration camps, how our grandparents were hiding the bombs of ’45 in bunkers, and how they built Nuremberg up again after the War while the Nazi Leaders were convicted during the Nuremberg Trials. 

You’ll recognize us on the meeting point by our white and green umbrellas.

Die Tour war absolut hervorragend. Wir haben viel über Nürnberg im Dritten Reich erfahren und sind die wichtigsten Monumente auf dem ehemaligen Reichsparteitagsgelände abgelaufen. Neben den Bauwerken erfuhren wir über den Ablauf der Reichsparteitage, die Organisation, die Ideologie und den Krieg in Nürnberg. Auch die Nürnberger Prozesse wurden kurz erwähnt. Sehr spannende Führung.
