Erlangen in Square²: A guided tour between Huguenots, planned city, and present

This guided tour takes you on a discovery journey through Erlangen, where baroque urban planning, Huguenot history, and vibrant present come together in a unique way. The tour starts at Huguenot Square, which makes the spirit of the planned city tangible and reveals the traces of those who have shaped Erlangen since the 17th century.

The baroque planned city with a clear grid

Erlangen is not a city that developed randomly. The street axes, squares, and sightlines tell of order, foresight, and an urban planning concept that still impresses today. Those who travel with the guide experience how the square of the city becomes a stage for history, architecture, and culture.

Huguenots, hope, and new beginnings

From a story of flight came a new beginning: the Huguenots profoundly influenced craftsmanship, knowledge, and the self-understanding of the city. This local history is what makes the tour so impressive and accessible.
