Day trip Nuremberg
imperial castle
In the Middle Ages, the Roman-German emperors did not rule from a city, but were constantly on the move to meet their vassals, hold court or attend imperial diets. When travelling, the emperor and his court were accommodated in imperial palaces along the travel routes. The Imperial Castle in Nuremberg is one of the most important imperial palaces of the Middle Ages in Europe.
craft yard
As soon as the visitor enters the Handwerkerhof, he is greeted by the delicious aroma of Nuremberg sausages, gingerbread and other Franconian specialties. The medieval flair of the alleys, shops and half-timbered houses makes the small town in the middle of the big city a very special sight.
If you look from Nuremberg Central Station in the direction of the old town, the Frauentor Tower immediately catches your eye. In its current form, the tower was built in the late 14th century and was thus one of the four main towers of Nuremberg's city wall.
Historical rock passages
Discover underground Nuremberg. With more than 20,000 square meters of rock cellars, the rock passages are the largest coherent rock cellar labyrinth in southern Germany. In addition to the rock cellars, other underground sights in Nuremberg are recommended. Irreplaceable works of art, for example by Albrecht Dürer, Veit Stoss or Martin Behaim, were stored in the historic art bunker during World War II. The casemates, underground defense passages, together with the castle bastion, form an impressive heritage of Renaissance fortifications.
Beautiful fountain
A legend says that if you turn the golden ring of the beautiful fountain once, three wishes will be granted, if you turn it three times, you can look forward to many children. With its pyramid shape tapering towards the top, the beautiful fountain on Nuremberg's main market symbolizes the theocentric world view in the Middle Ages.
Philosophy and the seven liberal arts, the four evangelists with representatives of the clergy, the seven electors entitled to elect emperors together with nine heroes of world history and finally Moses with seven prophets are arranged from bottom to top in four rows of figures.
Former Nazi Party Rally Grounds
Hitler's architect Albert Speer had begun in 1934 to design an overall plan for the future Nazi Party Rally Grounds, which would have an area of around 11 km². The Luitpold Arena, the Zeppelin Field, the March Field and the Congress Hall were planned as central locations for the Nazi Party Rallies. The "Terrain Information System Former Nazi Party Rally Grounds" describes the plans on information boards along the 23 stations. The neoclassicism of the early 20th century was monumentally exaggerated in Nazi architecture. It should be sublime, powerful and awe-inspiring, built for eternity. And so there were no colors or decorative elements in the plans for the Nuremberg Nazi Party Rally Grounds, cold gray was the dominant color. The war prevented the completion of the huge complexes such as the Congress Hall, the German Stadium and the March Field, which were to serve as a setting for the annual Nazi Party Rallies.
