Schwabach is famous for its gold handicrafts, especially gold leaf. In 2004, Schwabach celebrated this tradition with an anniversary festival marking "500 years of gold leaf in Schwabach". Around 1500, a local typesetter developed the font "Schwabacher". This font was used to print the first Bible in German, which was prepared by Martin Luther. Schwabach is also the birthplace of the composer Adolf von Henselt, the botanist Johann Gottfried Zinn, the biologist Ralf Baumeister, and one of the developers of MP3, Bernhard Grill. It was often visited by Albrecht Dürer.
