Shooting clubs have their historical roots in the cities of the late Middle Ages. The burghers sought to preserve their rights and protect them from the encroachments of the rulers. In 1429, the Union of St. John was founded in Nuremberg. This year, the shooters were separated from the "crossbows." The houses of rifle companies were called shooting ranges. The Nuremberg privileged Hauptschützengesellschaft built such a house in 1462 at Johannisfriedhof.

Nuremberg for those who love walking around. I love to walk around the city and discover its stories, people, tastes, sounds, views. This walk takes a whole day and includes the most beautiful photo locations of the city. We will walk along the embankments of the Pegnitz River from the eastern to the western gates; we will be able to take beautiful photos near the Holy Spirit Hospital, the museum bridge, and the old meat market, the executioner's house, the chain bridge, and Maxbruck. We will leave the old city for a few minutes to enjoy the autumn park, enchanted by a crossbow shooter. We will visit the house of Albrecht Durer and find out the history of the most intriguing fake portrait in the history of humankind. We will have lunch at the oldest restaurant in the city and end our journey in the area of the red light district.
