The history of Nuremberg, according to the earliest available document, points to a founding around AD 1050. The city grew rapidly within its first century of establishment, buoyed by its strategic location on medieval trade routes.
As the Imperial Diets of the Holy Roman Empire met at Nuremberg Castle, the city was often regarded as the unofficial capital of the empire. This enviable position further boosted commerce for the city, making it one of the two important trading centers in Bavaria, along with Augsburg.

There has always been a Jewish minority within Nuremberg. However discrimination against them was also just as long lasting. In 1298, the Jews of the city were accused of desecrating the host city and in the resulting massacre, 698 Jews were slain.
The Jews were again discriminated during the rule of the Nazis. Hitler specifically convened the Reichtag in Nuremberg, to pass a law that revoked German citizenship from all the Jews. As a result of it being the city where Jews lost their citizenship, after the war, Nazi officials were brought against an international war crimes tribunal there.
Today Nuremberg is a modern city famous in Germany for its traditional gingerbread, sausages and handmade toys. The city hosts the Nuremberg International Toy Fair, which is the largest fair of its kind in the world.
