Nürnberg Motorcycle T-Shirts & Apparel

Every May 1st, Münchener Strasse in southern Nürnberg fills wall-to-wall with motorcycles. No organiser, no entry fee, no stage - just riders who have been showing up for fifty years because that is what you do. The count hit 25,000 at last tally, and the ones who ride south afterward follow the Danube gorge to Weltenburg for the old biker blessing at Bavaria's oldest monastery. This collection is built for that crowd: the Franconian rider who knows the castle hill at dawn, the builder who never misses the May morning. Original Nürnberg biker shirts, printed on heavyweight ring-spun cotton, shipped to riders in over 70 countries.

Dürer's Hare and the City Below the Castle Rock

Ask a rider from here what to put on a shirt and the answer is the hare. Dürer painted his Young Hare in this city in 1502, and 500 years on it is still the mark Nürnberg claims as its own. So that is what we run: the characteristic pose, one ear raised, fur strand by strand, front paws lifted just off the ground, turned into a bold graphic that reads from across a parking lot. Around it sit the Kaiserburg's round Sinwell Tower over the old rooftops and the Gothic spike of the Schöner Brunnen at Hauptmarkt. The banner carries 'Echte Nürnberger', genuine Nürnberger, the phrase locals keep for someone who actually belongs. Wear it to the May morning ride-out and nobody has to ask where you are from.

Materials & Who It's For

This one is made for the Nürnberg-born rider, the Franconian who moved away and still calls it home, and the traveler who comes for the Kaiserburg or the Christkindlesmarkt and leaves wanting something that outlasts the trip. It also lands as a straight-up gift for anyone doing the May Day ride-out on Münchener Strasse. Tees are heavyweight 5.3oz ring-spun cotton, side-seamed and pre-shrunk. Hoodies are 8.0oz cotton-poly fleece with double-needle stitching at the stress points. Caps use raised embroidery on a structured six-panel. Every piece is checked by hand before it ships and tracked to your door in over 70 countries.
