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.

Gründlach Moor

Highlight • Natural

In many places in the Sebalder Reichswald, water-bearing ponds have constantly formed due to the damming ground conditions. Sometimes there are also artificial ponds that were created during the military use of the area. The water it feeds is acidic, poor in nutrients and dark brown in color from humic acids.
