Imagine: 1686. Families leave their homes – out of fear of persecution. Over 1,000 of these religious refugees reach Erlangen. What do they find? Hope.

A margrave with vision gives them not only safety, but an entire city – planned on the drawing board, open to new ideas: the baroque ‘Christian Erlang’.
And this spirit lives on today. Where Huguenots once built their future, research, development and study now take place. Friedrich-Alexander University attracts talent from all over the world – and Siemens has been driving technology and innovation forward for generations.

Erlangen is a city that gives ideas space – then as now. Discover how a place of refuge became a city full of life, knowledge and change.
