Zirndorf

From Freepedia

Zirndorf is a Bavarian town in the district of Fürth. The Brandstätter Group, producer of the Playmobil line of toys is headquartered in Zirndorf, which also features a Playmobil Funpark.

The first mention of the town occurs in a document dated September 9, 1297. The town was virtually destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War, though the brewing industry established in the late seventeenth century helped in its recovery. In the mid-nineteenth century, the toy industry contributed to the town’s industrial development, and remains important today.
