Fürth and Its Cloverleaf

You see it everywhere in Fürth: the three-leaf clover. It hangs as a pub sign, frames doorways, decorates balcony railings and building facades - and even turns up on manhole covers. The local football club takes its very name from it.

But what is the story behind this symbol? Officially it is the city's coat of arms, yet its meaning runs much deeper. This tour follows the trail of clovers scattered across the city and explores - sometimes seriously, sometimes with a wink - what the symbol means to Fürth and its people.
