Location of the town of Zirndorf within Fürth district | |
Zirndorf is a Bavarian town in the district of Fürth.
The first mention of the town occurs in a document dated September 9, 1297. The town was virtually destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War, though the brewing industry established in the late seventeenth century helped in its recovery. In the mid-nineteenth century, the toy industry contributed to the town’s industrial development, and remains important today.
The Brandstätter Group, producer of the Playmobil line of toys, is headquartered in Zirndorf, which also features a Playmobil Funpark.
