Nuremberg for many people is still associated with its traditional gingerbread products, sausages, and handmade toys. In the 19th century Nuremberg became the “industrial heart” of Bavaria with companies such as Siemens and MAN establishing a strong base in the city. Nuremberg is an important industrial center with a strong standing in the markets of Central Europe and Eastern Europe. Items manufactured in the area include electrical equipment, mechanical and optical products, motor vehicles, writing and drawing paraphernalia, stationery products and printed materials.
The city is also strong in the fields of automation, energy and medical technology. Siemens is the largest industrial employer in the Nuremberg region but a third of German market research agencies are also located in the city.

Nuremberg is a popular tourist destination for both foreigners and Germans. It was a leading city 500 years ago, but 90 percent of the town was destroyed in 1945 during the war. After World War II, many medieval-style areas of the town were rebuilt.
The Academy of Arts in Nuremberg is the oldest art academy in central Europe and its tradition of artistic education goes back 350 years.
Nuremberg is also famous for its Christmas market, which draws well over a million shoppers each year.
