Erlebnisweg Wallensteins Lager

This is where Albrecht von Wallenstein and the soldiers of the Catholic League laid siege to the fortified Nuremberg in 1632. His opponent, Gustav Adolf, King of Sweden, had retreated into the city with his troops. On September 3, 1632, the Battle of the Old Fortress in Zirndorf finally took place. The effects of the war were devastating for the population.
