Erlangen is a German city in Middle Franconia. It is located at the estuary of the Untere Schwabach into the Regnitz. Erlangen has about 100,000 inhabitants.
Erlangen is today dominated by its university and the numerous branch offices of the Siemens AG, as well as a large Institute of the Fraunhofer Society. An event still influencing the city is the settlement of Huguenots after the withdrawal of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.
University The University of Erlangen (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität) had been founded in 1742 by margrave Friedrich of Brandenburg-Bayreuth in the residence Bayreuth, but was relocated to Erlangen the next year.
Bergkirchweih The Bergkirchweih is an annual beer festival similar to the Oktoberfest in Munich, but smaller in scope. It takes place during twelve days before and after Pentecost and draws more than one million visitors each year.
