Field notes
Bavarian second-city with a tech and IoT scene anchored around Adidas/Puma/Siemens up the road in Erlangen. Gostenhof is the gentrified-creative pocket, the Altstadt is the postcard. Roughly 30–35% cheaper than Munich for similar quality of life. Same Schengen-only / Freiberufler story as the rest of Germany. Real four-season climate; the Christmas market is a structural December rhythm.
Drier than Aachen and slightly colder in winter. Real four seasons — winters touch freezing (Jan 0°C average) with regular snow, summers are warm (peak 20°C average). The Christkindlesmarkt (December) is the structural late-year rhythm. Best window April through August.
