We are sad to announce that we are standing down from the race for the 2028 Worldcon. This decision comes from a mix of personal, organisational and timing reasons. 1/

One of these mysterious gold hats was discovered in Bavaria in 1953 and is on display in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum (GNM) in Nuremberg. We couldn't help but notice its similarity to a certain well loved Worldcon award, and are taking that as a good omen!

The area around Nuremberg has lots of festivals and events in the summer time, and we're hoping Worldcon can be part of that culture of celebration in 2028! For example, today marks the “Anstich” — the tapping of the first Bergkirchweih beer barrel — and the opening of the Erlangen Bergkirchweih. 1/

Nuremberg has been called the bratwurst capital of the world. Nürnberger Bratwürste are truly special, from their size (about the same as a finger), special recipe (marjoram is key) and history (we've been eating them since 1313)! Learn more at the link.

Our bid vice chair Ruben successfully made contact with the alien civilisation of the Azaraq, also called "Blues" in the Perry Rhodan Universe, at ColoniaCon base. They are very enthusiastic about our bid!
A person in an alien costume stands next to a white man with a brown goatee and mustache and glasses. The alien is much taller than the man and wearing a pale purple cloak. The alien's mouth is where the base of the neck should be, and its head is shaped kind of like a mushroom cloud, rising up from a long narrow neck and exploding out into a flat reddish pink disk. The neck has a silver band around it, and you can just so some eyes on top of the disk.  The man is wearing a vest with the Nuremberg 2028 logo on it.

We all know the earlier you get your Worldcon membership, the better it is for both the convention and your wallet. So we’re offering a free attending membership to all members of the last German Worldcon: Heicon 1970. Which raises a question: Did Paul and 1/2r really plan this 58 years in advance?

The last time Worldcon was in Germany was 1970. So far 3 of the 620 members of that convention have stopped by our fan table at Eastercon to say hi. We hope we'll be able to say hi to even more Heicon alums in 2028!

Michael Vogt, author of the "Der kleine Perry" SF comic series at Carlsen Verlag, is creating art for Nuremberg 2028! In this hand-drawing you can see all the stages of drawing a comic before colouring: The first pencil sketch, then the pre-inking blue drawing, and finally the inking itself.

Guten Morgen! As part of our launch activities, we're having a contest. We have a magnificent Nürnbird as a mascot, but they need a name! Give us your best suggestions - the winner will win a lifetime supply of Prestigeträchtig!
A cartoon version of the Nürnberg Coat of Arms with red-and-white diagonal strips on the right half and, instead of a black eagle on gold, a small purple bird with green eyelashes, feet and beak. This type of bird is known in nature as a Nürnbird.
