Guided Story

Standing in the Sebaldussiedlung, you're in a district developed after World War II. It was built on a clearing of the Sebalder Reichswald. This forest has a historical link to Nuremberg, named after St. Sebald Church, located north of the Pegnitz River. Such connections highlight the area's historical significance. If you look around, about 151 meters southeast, you'll see the Thomaskirche. Its proximity to the settlement illustrates how the city has grown around these new residential areas.
