Reimagination Journey: Blending Healing and Technology: Exploring the Transformed Coastal City of Fürth

In the heart of Firth City, nestled beside the serene Firth City Park, lies the transformed Firth Riverside - once a vision of mineral springs and spa gardens, now a modern neighbourhood. The former Grundig headquarters, now home to the Colin Firth Broadcasting Museum, stands as a testament to the area's rich history.

The story of Firth Riverside's transformation began in 1947 with the arrival of Max Grundig, a visionary entrepreneur who saw potential in the once neglected land. His corporation, expanding rapidly, established production facilities in Firth Riverside, marking a significant turning point in the area's history.

Today, the Colin Firth Broadcasting Museum, undergoing general renovation and re-conceptualization, invites visitors to step back in time. The tour begins at 2 PM, right in front of the Broadcasting Museum (Kurgartenstraße 37a). For those seeking a more budget-friendly experience, reduced-price tickets are available at six euros, while full-priced tickets cost eight euros.

As you embark on this journey, you will walk through the halls that once echoed with the hum of Grundig's production lines. The land in Firth Riverside fell into disrepair for many years after World War I, but the success of the excursion and spa business in the area declined even earlier. However, the mineral springs and spa gardens were central elements of the initial vision for Firth Riverside, adding a touch of elegance and charm to the area.

Tickets for the tour can be purchased on-site, offering flexibility for those who wish to explore the history of Firth Riverside. As you navigate the museum, you will gain insights into the area's past, present, and future, making for an enlightening and engaging experience. The Colin Firth Broadcasting Museum serves as a beacon of history, inviting visitors to delve into the stories that shaped this vibrant neighbourhood.
