The first stop after the airport is named Ziegelstein. Ziegelstein was a village incorporated on August 1, 1920, in the city of Nuremberg. The was a castle here owned by the Nuremberg patrician family Haller. The castle was destroyed in 1642 and never rebuilt. The name Haller will meet us in the self-guided tours in Nuremberg.

The Rennweg U--Bahn station situated close to the City Park. The historical name of the city park Judenbühl derives from the tragedy concerned with the murdering of jews on this place in 1349.

The Rathenauplatz U-Bahn station is named after central city plaza Rathenauplatz. The plaza changed its name several times in the course of its history. The original name was Outer Laufertorplatz, which derived from the tower in the city walls fortifications. This name was changed to Hindenburgplatz in 1917 in honor of military man Paul von Hindenburg.

Park Plaza hotel Nuremberg was my choice because of the location and the price. The facilities of the hotel are good. Large space in the room and the bathroom. Well equipped bathroom, cozy and comfortable atmosphere and very attended service.
