The city executioners of Nuremberg lived in the house of the executioners for about 400 years until 1806. The former official residence of the executioners of Nuremberg and their assistants was installed in the old city walls and in the tower of the 15th century. The Nuremberg executioner, Franz Schmidt, kept a proper diary in the 16th century about all his executions and torture. Thanks to this information, you can get a fairly accurate picture of medieval law.
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.
