and there is a stage with music and entertainment. The festival is accompanied by an arts exhibition in the town hall. Every town district has its own church fair, which takes place between June and September. Education Stein's Elementary School consists of three school buildings located in different districts of the town. They are located in Neuwerker Weg (Deutenbach), Mühlstraße (Stein) and Stuttgarter Straße (Oberweihersbuch). Directly next to the building in Neuwerker Weg, there is a Hauptschule (nowadays called Mittelschule Stein). The Gymnasium in Stein was founded in 1982 and offers a mathematical/natural scientific and an economic/social branch to its students. Further institutions of learning are the Adult high school (Volkshochschule) and the music school which offers a wide range of musical lessons. Infrastructure Stein is located near the federal road Bundesstraße 14. The rush-hour traffic usually leads to long jams between Nuremberg and Stein, where the street becomes narrower. A motorway feeder, which is two kilometer away, links Stein to the autobahns A3, A6 and A9. The city belongs to the Greater Nuremberg Transport Network (Verkehrsverbund Großraum Nürnberg) and is connected to Nuremberg's public transport system. The nearest Nuremberg U-Bahn station, Röthenbach station, can be reached by busses, which go every 5-10 minutes during weekdays. An extension of line U2 towards Stein has been proposed multiple times, as early as the first plans of the metro network, however, fears over the long term operational costs have led local politicians to oppose such an extension. Stein has a railway station, which is located in Nuremberg-Gebersdorf, though. References Fürth (district)
