Streets of Nuremberg

Unlike Munich which was rebuilt on the cheap following World War II, Nuremberg retains all its charm.

You are looking south on Burgstraße while we are facing Kaiserburg.

Nürnberg was rebuilt from ruin following World War II but Weißgerbergasse is thought to have the most authenticly preserved structures.

Kaiserburg was an important Castle in Germany and the Holy Roman Empire, neither of which had a permanent capital in the Middle Ages.

Like many great Gothic Churches in Europe, construction of Lorenzkirche began in the 13th Century at the end of the Medieval Warm Period, which should prove the benefits of Global Warming and its contribution to prosperity and wealth.

The pointed arches and spires are typical of Gothic Architecture.

It’s important to know that Lorenzkirche is Lutheran, which speaks to which way Nürnberg went in the Reformation, but that also makes Nürnberg rare among cities in Bavaria, which is predominantly Catholic. And this is significant because Nürnberg was so important to the Holy Roman Empire that it was often called the unofficial capital.
