Erlanger Gate

Highlight • Monument

The core of the ensemble (♁Lage) is formed by the church and the main buildings of the former Augustinian monastery, founded in 1314 and abolished in 1552, which is preceded by a market settlement on a road from Forchheim to Nuremberg to the north and west. The southern area of the monastery today shows a courtyard-like formation, which is delimited by the monastery gate, school house, sexton's house, vicarage, the baroque office building and the remains of the monastery fortifications. The church tower, the Erlanger Tor and the Zehntstadel have an impact on this ensemble area. The north upstream market street, which is divided by the transverse stream into the inner and the outer market with a square-like widening, is lined in closed rows of two-storey town houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, mostly gabled buildings, some in half-timbering. The inner market with the town hall (only recently released) is dominated by the Gothic-style collegiate and parish church towering behind it. From its former walls on the north and east side, only the late Gothic St. Catherine's Chapel is preserved, which indicates the extent of the old abbey district in this area.

Mindful on the Way Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

On the Jakobusweg from Effeltrich in the direction of Hetzles on the "Oberen Bühl" there is an unusual octagonal corridor chapel. Its designation "Mindful of the Path" indicates the importance of the chapel for the pilgrims. It is on the way that leads from Bamberg to Nuremberg, with long-term destinations in Italy and Spain. The octagonal shape of the chapel should be reminiscent of the church “Santa Maria von Eunate” - located on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. This type of construction can be found mainly in early Christian churches. The overhead windows are intended to protect the room. The colored, hand-blown Lamberts glasses are a real eye-catcher. The four cardinal virtues of bravery, justice, prudence and temperance can be found between the roof structure and the windows. In between the Christian virtues of faith, hope and love. The center is the altar, a natural oak trunk. The surrounding benches in the church symbolize the way they are set up: Nobody is sitting in the back or in front.

The builder of the chapel offers further information on the website 8x8sam.de/htm/chronik.html.

Regnitz Cycle Path: Baiersdorf to Erlangen

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Easy to ride bike route, the surface is almost undamaged. Watch out for other cyclists, there are always a few on the road here and since the path is narrow in places, leave enough space for oncoming traffic
