Key facts of the tour
Have you always wanted to know what it feels like to walk through a door into a fantastic otherworld? You can experience exactly that at the Black Light Factory in Nuremberg. Equipped with a golf club, ball and 3D glasses, you'll be in the dark and yet surrounded by a dazzling play of colours, glowing trees and bizarre and eerie creatures. Between optical illusions and real 3D objects, you have to place your balls accurately. This is no old-fashioned minigolf game, this is a real thrill with a fun factor.

Afterwards, you can try out the communication technologies used by mankind in the past and today for yourself at the Museum of Communication and travel back to the early days of the railway at full steam ahead at the DB Museum.

Black light factory - 3D mini golf

The old Posthallen in Nuremberg are unrecognisable, at least from the inside, because here the world as we know it is completely unhinged. It's just that the gravity is still right, everything else is a real rush of colour and light, and it's all virtually in the dark. As if that wasn't enough, this dream world is a mini-golf world that needs to be conquered.

The artists Michael "Colory" Krebs and Katrin "Chawila" Weiland have created fantastic worlds with their unique 3D painting style using luminous colours.

The minigolf course is integrated into this luminescent art world. Visitors play their balls through and past carnivorous plants, giant corals, fields of diamonds, snarling tree creatures and sometimes just against a wall of optical illusions.
The sense of space and time is quickly lost.

It is advisable to reserve a time slot via the website, especially at weekends, otherwise there may be a wait.

Behringer's sausage bells

There has been a pub called "Bratwurstglöcklein" in Nuremberg since 1313. It was the most legendary bratwurst kitchen in the city. Like many small trading stalls, it leaned against a church building, in this case the Moritz Chapel, which stood in the shadow of St Sebald's Church.
Both the Moritzkapelle and the old "Bratwurstglöcklein" were destroyed in the hail of bombs on 3 October 1944. Even today, the outline of both buildings in the pavement is a reminder of their existence.
Since 1971, the Behringer family has been running a traditional pub in the Handwerkerhof, which refers to the former "Bratwurstglöcklein" and cherishes its memory.
The filigree, wrought-iron bracket of the old inn is modelled on the centuries-old original.
Nuremberg sausages are grilled here over an open beechwood fire and served on a pewter plate, just like in the old days. In addition to the traditional and typical Franconian meat and sausage dishes, vegetarian options are now also available. The house radiates historical simplicity and creates a cosy atmosphere. Old copper engravings hang on the walls, bearing witness to Nuremberg's historical splendour.

Direction

- you walk through the Nuremberg Sculpture Garden of the Neues Museum Nürnberg, pass the memorial to homosexuals persecuted by the Nazis and the Nuremberg State Theatre
- You've come to the right place at the Nuremberg Transport Museum
- The second floor of the building houses the Museum of Communication and the DB Museum.

Museum for Communication in the Nuremberg Transport Museum

There are four themed areas at the Museum of Communication in Nuremberg, all of which are centred around communication techniques. Be it sensory perception or physical functions without which communication would not work, i.e. hearing, speaking, seeing, writing and reading. There are answers to the questions: how have acoustic messages been transmitted in human history, how do we learn to speak and how do we organise our relationships linguistically?
The second section focuses on the world of images. This also includes which images of ourselves we create in others, what happens in non-verbal, gestural communication. What images and signs determine our lives? Films and photographs, how do we create our visual worlds today? The other two areas deal with writing and signs. The fourth area is about network worlds, i.e. virtual communication.

A special highlight is the walk-in replica of an original Egyptian burial chamber, in which the lives of the deceased are recorded using pictures and characters.

There is plenty to try out for yourself everywhere.

DB Museum Nuremberg

The DB Museum Nuremberg is the most important railway museum in Germany and one of the oldest in the world. It was founded back in 1882. The 40 or so original vehicles are a particular attraction. These include the court train of King Ludwig II and old steam locomotives through to today's high-tech locomotives. The main part of the exhibition is interactive. This means that many things can be tried out.
