Erlangen is a city that in its current form should almost not exist. It was reinvented several times: first by French Huguenot refugees who built a strictly planned Baroque new town in the 17th century, later by Siemens engineers who came from divided Berlin in the 20th century and created monumental post-war tech buildings. This tour shows the surprising parallels between the two upheavals and the tension between utopian urban planning and human reality. Follow the path from the refuge to the global center of medical technology.
