Oberasbach is located in the Middle Franconian district of Fürth and has evolved significantly from a rural agricultural community into a bustling modern city. Bordering the major cities of Nuremberg and Fürth, it has become a highly sought-after residential area for professionals working in the metropolitan region. The city is set in the rolling hills of the Bibert valley (Bibertgrund), providing ample opportunities for outdoor recreation and nature walks. A milestone in its history was the official granting of city rights on April 30, 1994. While primarily a residential hub, Oberasbach is home to an excellent infrastructure with a wide range of schools, shops, and social facilities. Its location directly adjacent to the town of Zirndorf, home of the famous Playmobil FunPark, makes it a strategic base for visiting families. The city blends contemporary urban planning with the traditional atmosphere of its older districts like Altenberg and Rehdorf.
