01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Nuremberg—515,543, Europe/Berlin, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
Wikidata's localized description: main settlement of Nuremberg, Middle Franconia, Germany.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Nuremberg is GeoNames ID 2861650. Its recorded administrative path is Regierungsbezirk Mittelfranken → Bavaria → Germany, and GeoNames classifies the place as a third-order administrative seat. Nuremberg occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2026-05-07; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Nuremberg ranks 1,104 by recorded population. Inside the 15 selected Germany entries it ranks 12; inside the 125 entries in its broad region it ranks 106. Its 515,543 population value is 0.87 times the 593,085 median for the country cohort and 0.78 times the 664,046 regional median. Nuremberg sits in the lower half of this atlas's selected Germany entries. Nuremberg's recorded value stays within one quarter of the country-cohort median used here. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.
Nuremberg's three nearest other atlas coordinates are Munich at 150.893 km with 1,505,005 recorded people; Stuttgart at 157.194 km with 612,663 recorded people; Frankfurt at 186.89 km with 650,000 recorded people. The closest-to-farthest distance spread is 35.997 km. Compared with Munich, Nuremberg's recorded population is 0.34 times as large. Against Nuremberg, Munich follows Upper Bavaria → Bavaria → Germany in the source. Its point has lower latitude and higher longitude; it belongs to the same selected Germany cohort, uses the shared Europe/Berlin identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat. Its recorded population is above Nuremberg's. Against Nuremberg, Stuttgart follows Regierungsbezirk Stuttgart → Baden-Wurttemberg → Germany in the source. Its point has lower latitude and lower longitude; it belongs to the same selected Germany cohort, uses the shared Europe/Berlin identifier, and carries first-order administrative seat rather than third-order administrative seat.

Its recorded population is above Nuremberg's. Its nearest-neighbor distance ranks 881 of 1,206 from shortest to longest in the same snapshot. Nuremberg's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the wider half of atlas distances. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 2861650, the coordinate pair 49.4542 / 11.0775, country rank 12 of 15, and neighbor GeoNames 2867714 at 150.893 km bind Nuremberg to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Nuremberg's reference point is 49.4542° north and 11.0775° east. The IANA identifier Europe/Berlin is shared by 15 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA3 is shared by 60 rows. Nuremberg's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Nuremberg's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Nuremberg's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Nuremberg, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
