Hummelsteiner Schloss
Hummelsteiner Schloss is a historic manor house in Nuremberg, with roots reaching back to 1501. Wolf Horneck used the manor as his residence.
In the eighteenth century, the nearby inn Hummelsteiner Park gained permission to serve drinks, attracting Sunday outings from Nuremberg. Nuremberg residents made the place a Sunday destination.
By the late eighteenth century, Hummelstein contained the manor and smaller estates, while jurisdiction remained disputed between Nuremberg and Schwabach. Hummelstein later came under Prussian control in 1796.
Bavaria incorporated the area in 1806, and Nuremberg absorbed Hummelstein into the city in 1899. The nearby MAN factory shaped local housing.
The surroundings feature low, villa-like buildings, with the Sperberschulhaus standing directly behind the manor house. The nearby Sperberschulhaus was completed in 1914.
In 1925, a substantial part of the castle park became a model school facility for Nuremberg. Hummelsteiner Schloss links a historic manor with Nuremberg’s urban development.
