traditional gingerbread (Lebkuchen) products, sausages and handmade toys. The first pocket watches, the Nürnberg eggs, were made here in the 16th century. In the 19th century, however, Nuremberg became the "industrial heart" of Bavaria. Companies like Siemens and MAN had their roots in this town. Nuremberg is still an important industrial center with a strong position towards markets in Central and Eastern Europe. Items manufactured include electrical equipment, mechanical and optical products, motor vehicles and printed materials.
To the economic profile add strong activities in the automation, energy and medical technology sector. There are many "hidden champions" with a leading role in the world markets which have their seats in Nuremberg. The biggest industrial employer in the Nuremberg region still is the Siemens company. A third of the German consumer research companies are located in Nuremberg. The Nuremberg Toy Fair is the biggest worldwide, and several specialised high-technology fairs attract experts from all over the world every year. |
