Hello! I am currently living in Stockholm, and I have received a job offer in Nuremberg. I am almost decided to move again, but I would like to hear opinions about the city from other people. My main interest is mountain biking, and it is very nice in Sweden, but I think that around Nuremberg is pretty good as well, so if anyone has any tips about it I appreciate it as well!

What a weird take.

  • Nürnberg is franconian and does not share the same culture as bavaria. It's like saying cologne is culturally Ruhrpott.
  • Nürnberg is generally goverened by SPD (although not in this legislature). Since 1945 it was only goverened by CSU for like 8 years. Kinda same as for every larger bavarian city, tbh.
  • you are mixing up federal politics with state politics and city politics. Scheuers fuck up does not affect Nürnberg politics.

I hear the same stuff about Dresden and Sachsen...

That's more comparable to the situation of Munich in Bavaria. However, Franconia is culturally rather different from Bavaria, despite having been "incorporated" for some time before the German unification (i.e. after Napoleon).
