Hi!

Welcome to Zirndorf, Bavaria. I think you are one of the American soldiers we had been proud to have in our little town. Maybe, I introduce myself: I am Richard, the webmaster of this site. I am working for the administration of Zirndorf and this website is a part of my job, and it's a part I love!

I would like to offer you a website which is interesting for you especially if you were living here for a while. Please give me a message what you like to see on this site about Zirndorf. Pictures of Pinder (the area still exists but it changed a lot), pictures of the Brauhaus? Are you interested in visiting Zirndorf and you are looking for accomodation? Maybe you have pictures from your time living here I could publish on my server. I confess: I do not have a lot of pictures from the life inside, so only you can provide this to me.

Is there a funny story you would like to tell? If so, send it to me and a picture of you with it! The ones I like most get a postcard from Zirndorf, painted by the famous Zirndorf-based painter Mr. Lumm.

Whatever! I would love to hear from you and I try to do my very best to make your next visit here more enjoyable...

Your webmaster of Zirndorf,

Richard Lippmann

Playmobil Funpark in Zirndorf, you know the figures from the playground!

There is something I got written from a visitor:
My wife, daughter and I like Zirndorf; it is a very pretty place. The main reason for coming was to visit the Funpark. It was well worth the effort! We stayed at Gasthof an der Brücke (take a look at http://www.zirndorf.de/hotel) ; a very nice place with very fine food. It was by accident that it turned out to be within convenient walking distance of the Funpark.

My suggestion to you for this web site; include directions on how to get to Zirndorf from the Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof. The visitor's office at the station did their best and finally we caught the bus-train to Fürth and then to Zirndorf. You see, from the various maps and such, there still is not a good idea if the distance is too far for a taxi or whatever. I think that a taxi would have cost too much.

If you like to stay for more than a day and have your host here for visits in Zirndorf, Nuernberg and the environment it's good to choose a hotel from where you can walk to the train station which is in the middle of the town (at Zirndorf Bahnhof = Zirndorf station, this is Akzent-Hotel Rangau, Gasthof-Pension "Bub", Hotel-Pension Knorz in http://www.zirndorf.de/hotel) or only one station farer (at Zirndorf Achterplatzchen, this is Kneippkurhotel and Gasthof WilhelmTell also mentioned in http://www.zirndorf.de/hotel). Ask for larger rooms for your whole family if you like, and maybe you could get a special price when staying for some days in a row.

The train rides about every 20 minutes to Fuerth/Nuernberg and you can travel also by bus to Nuernberg (not so convenient).
