Northern Bavarian city 15 minutes north of Nuremberg — Siemens Healthineers (medical imaging) HQ + Friedrich-Alexander University (one of Germany's largest). The baroque Altstadt and the Bahnhof district are the walkable cores. Germany has no formal DNV; Freiberufler / Selbständige / Blue Card are the long-stay routes. Schengen. Roughly 25-30% cheaper than central Munich on rent with the same Bavarian beer-garden density and direct ICE access to Berlin (3h30) and Munich (1h).
