Anecdotes and Curiosities from the Kleeblattstadt

This walk through Fürth's old town is not about historical facts - it's about entertaining stories. Whether they're true, half-true, or simply too good to fact-check is left open.

One thread is the tense relationship between the unequal sisters Nuremberg and Fürth, whose friction and quarrels started at the very founding of both cities and live on today as verbal sparring between fans of the two football clubs. The other thread runs through the old town's stories about Fürth's local characters, such as Doris Kraus, better known as Pfeiffndurla.
