  2. Frauenkirche
    10m
    At 12 noon the bells of the Frauenkirche ring and the "Männleinlaufen" come into play, 16th-century automata that tell us the imperial history of Nuremberg. The Männleinlaufen gives us an insight into the importance of Nuremberg for the Nazi Party conventions. A fascinating story not to be missed.

    Completed in 1477, the Church of St. Lawrence has a long tradition in the southern district of Nuremberg. Next to the church, we find a monument that speaks to the victims of National Socialism. A place of reflection and understanding of 20th-century history.
  5. Heilig-Geist-Spital

    The Old Town Hall in Nuremberg demonstrates the power of the city's bourgeoisie.

    St. Sebald's Church is the most important church in Nuremberg. A Protestant church worth visiting for its history and religious objects.
  9. Kaiserburg Nurnberg
    10m
    Nuremberg Castle is the city's hallmark. From every angle, you can appreciate this marvelous medieval complex, which showcases the power of the Holy Roman Empire and which National Socialism adopted as the Secret Capital of the Third Reich.
    Here we will also discuss the importance of the Nuremberg Trials as a way to overcome the madness of war through justice and reason.
