Tips from the Community
• Historical background: In the past, the farmers of Hausen operated around 30 of these traditional water wheels in parallel to efficiently irrigate the surrounding fields and meadows. This brought considerable prosperity to the village, which was reflected in the past, among other things, in the magnificent local traditional costume, which is also depicted on the board. • Maintaining tradition today: Together with the better-known water wheels of Möhrendorf, the Hausen wheel is one of the last active testimonies to this historical irrigation culture in Central Europe. It is set up in the river by the municipality every year during the summer half-year (usually from May to September) so that it is functional. • Location: The wheel is located not far from the connecting road from Hausen to Kersbach, very close to the lock of the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal.

In 1728, the dilapidated ABC bridge was replaced by the sandstone arch bridge that still exists today. In honor of the then Emperor Charles VI or his wife Elisabeth, the structure was originally named Kaiserbrücke or Elisabethbrücke. Two obelisks are erected in the middle of the bridge. The eastern one is crowned by a war or imperial eagle with outstretched wings, the western one by a dove of peace with folded wings and an olive branch in its beak.https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlsbr%C3%BCcke_(N%C3%BCrnberg)

Hello MTB enthusiasts, if you are ever nearby, you should definitely ride these trails. They are called Moggerla, Amerla, Hupferla, Canyon, Löwenbrau, Uschi, Hexenleiter and Enduro. From S1 - S3 (Enduro). My recommendation, park at the Alte Veste by the tower. Ride the trails here and then continue into the Fürther Stadtwald. Another tip, the Felsenkeller in Burgfarnbach has reopened, it is located very beautifully in the forest by the Rothwildgehe. A cold dish and a hearty snack to strengthen you. Have fun riding them. Do you need a guide, I will gladly show you and would be ready. 😄

Everything that makes the MTB heart beat faster. More trails are under construction. A new trail at Hexenplatz already has the end of construction in sight. Trailworks is doing a great job here. Thanks to the many helpers. 👍

The building you see today was built immediately after its destruction in the 2nd Margraves' War. The citizens rebuilt it in record time: Material. Massive sandstone was used, giving the building its characteristic, sturdy appearance to this day. A late Gothic structure with Renaissance influences was created. Particularly striking is the steep timber-framed gable, which was later plastered over. The town hall was much more than just an office for the mayor back then. The open ground floor (the so-called arcades) used to house the bread and meat benches. Bakers and butchers sold their goods here under the protection of the city council. The city council met on the first floor, and justice was administered. The council bell in the turret announced important verdicts or warned of fire. From early on, there was a "council room" in the town hall where the council members were entertained.
