Nürnberg: Historische Bauten und Gegenwartsarchitektur

Unschlittplatz 8-12

Until 1945, Nuremberg was the best preserved medieval city of Germany - a living museum.
As result of the Second World War this privilege was destroyed.
The bomb raids left only traces of the former splendour.
The most original buildings were lost - however,
Nuremberg is still so rich at architectural monuments
that one can know hardly all.
An important issue of today is how to build in this setting.

HINTS FOR HOTFOOTS:
|
|
Nuremberg is even at architecture primarily connected with
Albrecht Dürer's era and the Nazi epoch.
They can be considered as extreme examples of an outstanding
cultural epoch and the deepest decay of a society.
Despite their unquestioned importance, a limitation to this
periods would lead to an incomplete image of local architecture's history.
Therefore this website provides a broad cross section of Nuremberg's buildings,
in order to show what the houses can tell about their inhabitants, about the thoughts of their
builders and about the city's history.

Broaden your horizons
If you wonder why the neighbouring cities Fürth and Erlangen are
introduced here with exemplary buildings (see: excursions), then don't mistake
this as an indication of the lack of suitable Nuremberg's buildings.
Each of these places offers its own, particular architecture,
which would have earned its own representation.
However, due to the local proximity it is suggested to overcome the legendary
boundary between Nuremberg and Fürth and
to cross-border look at architecture in the new "Metropolregion".

And now nothing else remains saying more to me than much pleasure exploring Nuremberg's buildings!
And don't forget to
give me your feed back!
Yours sincerely,
