About Curt

Curt

curt is Nuremberg's event and city magazine — the Veranstaltungs- und Stadtmagazin for the Nürnberg/Fürth/Erlangen region (with the occasional sister curt München). Since its 2001 debut the title combines journalistic and illustrative content: the Stadtgeschehen (city happenings), the lifestyle, the art, the culture. The print — six issues a year, 7,500 copies, free at 300 selected public places — meets the online: the curt.de portal's location guide and event calendar. The Munich sister — one to three times a year, 7,000–10,000 copies at 30 capital locations — extends the brand: the Franconian magazine's Bavarian outpost.

Overview

The magazine serves the Franconian metropolis's culture-goers: the Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen audience — the art fans, the club-goers, the foodies. The journalistic-illustrative concept — the editorial's signature — deserves its telling. The Veranstaltungs- und Stadtmagazin — the event and city magazine — "verbindet journalistische und illustrative Inhalte" (combines journalistic and illustrative content): the texts and the images as equal partners. The Stadtgeschehen — the city happenings — gets the reporting: the Nuremberg stories. The Lifestyle — the food, the drink, the going-out — gets the illustration: the visual seduction. The Kunst und Kultur — the art and culture — get both: the exhibitions' images, the concerts' words. The concept's logic — the free magazine's attention economy — demands the visual: the 300 places' competition — the takeaway's glance. The illustrative quality — the photographers, the designers — defines the brand: the Franconian magazine's look — the city's culture, beautifully told. The six-issues rhythm — the 7,500-copy print run — follows the region's cultural year: the exhibitions, the festivals, the seasons. The distribution network — the 300 selected places — deserves its telling. The Agenturen (agencies), the Bildungsinstitute (educational institutes), the Hotels, the Museen (museums), the Bars, the Cafés, the Clubs, the Shops, the Theater, the Galerien (galleries), the Sport-/Freizeitzentren (sports/leisure centers), the Touristikinformationszentralen (tourist info centrals) — the 300 Stellen — place the free magazine where the culture-goers are: the selected public places. The Mitnahme — the free takeaway — invites the impulse: the glance, the pocket. The 7,500 copies — the six-issues print run — fill the network: the region's supply. The Munich sister's 30 locations — the capital's selected places — mirror the model: the 7,000–10,000 copies. The distribution's logic — the culture's places — targets the audience: the art fans, the club-goers — the free magazine's precision — the region's culture, at hand.

The portal program — the curt.de's location database (bars, beer gardens, cafés, restaurants by cuisine, clubs) and the event calendar (the daily dates: the Herbstvolksfest, the concerts, the comedy) — serves the going-out: the addresses, the dates. The Munich sister — the capital's edition — deserves its telling. The curt München — the Schwestermagazin (sister magazine) — appears one to three times a year since the 2001 debut: the 7,000–10,000 copies at 30 Munich locations. The concept — the Franconian magazine's Munich outpost — carries the brand: the journalistic-illustrative content for the capital. The frequency — the occasional (not the regular six) — marks the special: the Munich specials. The distribution — the 30 selected capital places — mirrors the Nuremberg model: the free takeaway. The sister's function — the brand's extension — serves the ambition: the regional magazine's Bavarian reach — the Nuremberg title, the Munich presence — the curt family's growth.

History

curt — debut 2001 — was founded as the Nuremberg region's event and city magazine: the journalistic and illustrative content for Nürnberg/Fürth/Erlangen. The free model — the selected public places' Mitnahme (takeaway) — built the readership: the culture's audience. The six-issues rhythm — the 7,500-copy circulation — stabilized the brand: the Franconian magazine. The metropolitan region — Nürnberg/Fürth/Erlangen — gives the territory: the half-million city, the twin city (the Kofferfabrik, the Babylon Kino), the university city (the Kunstpalais). The Nuremberg culture — the Z-Bau, the Desi, the Rakete — fills the pages: the Franconian scene. The 2001 debut — the new millennium's magazine — caught the region's cultural awakening: the event magazine's era.

The Munich expansion — the sister curt München (one to three times a year since the debut, 7,000–10,000 copies at 30 Munich locations) — extended the reach: the capital's edition. The digital expansion — the curt.de portal (the locations, the Termine) — modernized the service: the daily. The 2026 currency — the September 2026 event calendar (the 200th Herbstvolksfest, the Z-Bau's Biergarten) — proves the active: the region's dates.

Coverage and Content

The editorial program follows the region's cultural year. The Stadtgeschehen coverage — the city happenings — reports Nuremberg: the news. The lifestyle coverage — the food, the drink — guides the going-out: the locations. The art coverage — the exhibitions (the Kunstpalais Erlangen's Langer Donnerstag) — serves the educated: the culture. The culture coverage — the concerts, the theater — entertains: the stages.

The location database — the portal's service — deserves its telling. The curt.de LOCATIONS — the erweiterte Suche (advanced search) — catalogs the region's going-out: the Gastronomie (bars, beer gardens, cafés, restaurants by cuisine — African to Vietnamese, Franconian, vegan), the Shops, the Dienstleister, the Freizeit + Sport, the Clubs + Discotheken. The entries — the addresses, the phones, the emails, the websites (LêBar's Luitpoldstraße, the Z-Bau's Frankenstraße, the Kofferfabrik's Fürth) — give the practical: the contact. The categories — the cuisines, the formats — filter the choice: the search. The database's breadth — the region's bars, restaurants, clubs — serves the going-out: the Nuremberg-Fürth-Erlangen's map — the portal's utility — the city's addresses, searchable. The event calendar — the Termine — deserves its telling. The curt.de TERMINE — the tag pages (the 3 September 2026: the 200th Nürnberger Herbstvolksfest at the Volksfestplatz, the Erfahrungsfeld's Doppelhelix-Werkstatt, the Z-Bau's Biergarten with drum'n'bass, the Kunstpalais Erlangen's Langer Donnerstag, the Literaturhaus's Meike Winnemuth, the Z-Bau's Oliver Polak comedy) — list the region's dates: the daily. The calendar's breadth — the festivals, the workshops, the concerts, the readings, the comedy — covers the culture: the going-out. The 200th Herbstvolksfest — the anniversary — marks the tradition: the Franconian fair. The Z-Bau — the Frankenstraße's culture center (the Biergarten, the concerts) — exemplifies the venues: the region's stages. The calendar's function — the dates' service — defines the Veranstaltungsmagazin: the region's events, daily listed. The Munich coverage — the sister's edition — carries the brand: the capital.

Organization and Ownership

curt is published from Nuremberg — the Veranstaltungs- und Stadtmagazin's publisher details are not publicly confirmed in the sources consulted. The free-magazine economics — the business behind the takeaway — deserves its telling. The Anzeigen (advertisements) — the region's gastronomy, culture, events — finance the six issues: the 7,500 copies' production. The 300 distribution points — the selected public places — give the advertisers the audience: the culture-goers' attention. The portal — the curt.de's locations and Termine — extends the inventory: the digital. The Munich sister — the 7,000–10,000 copies — adds the capital's market: the Bavarian advertisers. The illustrative quality — the design's cost — justifies the premium: the free magazine's value. The economics' logic — the free takeaway's reach — serves the region: the culture's visibility — the advertisers' stage, the readers' gift. The 7,500-copy Nuremberg circulation and the 7,000–10,000-copy Munich sister document the scale: the regional.

The editorial — the journalistic and illustrative content — serves the region: the Stadtgeschehen, the lifestyle, the art, the culture. The distribution network — the agencies, the hotels, the museums, the clubs — gives the presence: the selected places. Detailed ownership and staff figures are not publicly confirmed.

Digital Presence

The magazine's digital home is curt.de: the location guide — the bars, the restaurants, the clubs (the searchable categories) — and the event calendar — the daily Termine. The portal's currency — the September 2026 dates — proves the active: the region's going-out. The social media — the channels — reach the culture-goers: the tips.

The digital strategy follows the city-magazine logic: the print six-issues for the 300 places — the journalistic-illustrative — the portal for the daily service — the locations, the dates. As Nuremberg's event and city magazine — the 2001-founded title — curt remains the region's culture guide: the city, the lifestyle, and the art — six times a year in print, daily on curt.de.
