Discover Sebastian Perfeller's fascinating life story and the establishment of his unique "Chinesenstadt" (Chinatown) in Fürth.

The information board tells the life story of Sebastian Perfeller, a blacksmith from Pinzgau, who undertook a remarkable journey in the 19th century. From his birth in Eschenau in 1814 to his death in 1883, his moving story will be detailed. After Perfeller learned his trade and took over his father's forge in Fürth, he took the step into the Now World in 1862.

The board recounts his adventurous journey to America, his work as a blacksmith in Santos, and his return to the USA in 1866. But Perfeller eventually returned to Fürth, where he laid the foundations for his visionary idea: the construction of a "Chinesenstadt" (Chinatown) in the Fürther Graben. Inspired by reports of Chinese culture, he began building pavilions, arcades, and a lake that were meant to represent a harmonious world.

Despite its decay after Perfeller's death in 1883, it remains a fascinating testament to his dreams and visions.
