On Friday evening a colleague of mine from work helped me acquire a bus/trolley/subway pass. To figure out how the system works I set off on Saturday morning to get myself to Furth and back. Furth is an old medieval town about 20 minutes or so from Nuremberg. On their web site it says they will be celebrating their 1000th year as a city -- founded in 1007.
Wandering through the old part of town I stumbled across this old house which has many angles which aren't quite square. It also shows the traditional German construction made with timber and plaster. I also discovered that several buildings in Furth are covered with the tiles on the second floor of this building.

Hi:
I enjoyed your picture from Furth. I went on your site looking for a map of the area around Furth to find the town in which my husband's greatgrandfather was born. I am retyping a travel log dated 1912 which the greatgrandfather wrote on his return trip to Germany in that year. Anyway, the town was Ermreuth and the only reference I have found to it was a mention in a crop circle siting! Ermreuth was very near Furth and Igensdorf. Do any of those places appear on any of your maps? Thanks.
