Modeling work in Nuremberg
Nuremberg is Bavaria's second-largest city, and our catalogue lists three agencies there. VIDA Models was founded in 2007 by Elke Dannewitz after many years of working abroad as a model herself. Its office is on Steinstraße, west of the old town. The agency has women's, men's, commercial, talent and sport boards.
Unique Models is a firm entered in the Nuremberg commercial register (e.K., HRA 18092), based on Dr.-Carlo-Schmid-Straße in the east of the city, near Nürnberg Ost station. Its website says it has a large selection of experienced models across Germany. Its boards are women, men, curve and commercial.
Fisher's House describes itself as a model and event agency. Its office is in the Nordostpark business park in the north-east of the city, and its board includes women, men, kids, senior and curve models and actors. If you are looking for work for a child, first read in the Germany guide which permit is needed for under-15s.
The sportswear companies adidas and Puma have their headquarters in Herzogenaurach, near Nuremberg. You will find agencies by board on the pages women, men, commercial, talent, curve, sport, senior and kids.

How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For commercial and advertising work in the region, the local agencies fit. If you are aiming for fashion work, pick a few agencies in Munich, Hamburg or Berlin and only travel once you have been invited to meet.
- Apply through the agency's official channels. A genuine agency does not charge for applying or for a casting; being asked to pay upfront for registration, a Sedcard or a photo shoot is a sign of a modeling scam.
- Contracts, commission, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Germany.
