Franconian inn culture can be experienced in the cozy Bräuschänke in a historic ambiance. The brewery was founded here in 1712, and since 1833 it was owned by the Kitzmann brewing family until Peter Kitzmann closed it in 2018. The brand rights were taken over by Kulmbacher Brauerei, and beer production was relocated to Kulmbach. Five types of Kitzmann beer are still produced, including the Bergkirchweihbier.

Despite generous donations from Margrave Christian Ernst, the French Reformed and German Reformed communities of the city, and many parishioners, the money for the construction of the Neustädter Kirche could not initially be raised. The faithful collected for their house of worship through fundraising tours and in inns; it was built starting in 1722 and consecrated in 1737, at least provisionally completed. The sixty-meter-high tower was only finished in 1830. Since 1837, Erlangen's main Evangelical Lutheran church has also been the university church.

Outside of France, there is no Huguenot church still in use today that is older than the one in Erlangen. It was built between 1686 and 1693 as part of the Baroque design of the new town of Erlangen, based on plans by Johann Moritz Richter. The first French religious refugees came to Erlangen in 1686 at the invitation of Margrave Christian Ernst. The Calvinists called their church the French Reformed Church. In 1922, it merged with the German Reformed Church and is today the Evangelical Reformed Church. However, the name Huguenot Church has remained in common parlance.

The Bayreuth court sculptor Elias Räntz created the Huguenot Fountain in 1706. In an oval fountain basin stands a cone-shaped rocky mountain. On its lowest level, noble Huguenot families are depicted, above them ancient deities, and at the very top Margrave Christian Ernst. An opening in the rock cone allows a view through to the equestrian statue of the Margrave.

A very large bicycle shop. I've only heard good things about them so far, but unfortunately I haven't been there yet, as I have my trusted bicycle shop in Herzogenaurach.
