The monuments of the Bavarian city of Nuremberg are compiled on this page . This table is a partial list of the list of architectural monuments in Bavaria . The basis is the Bavarian Monument List , which was first drawn up on the basis of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act of October 1, 1973 and has since been managed by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation . The following information does not replace the legally binding information from the monument protection authority. This list reflects the update status of December 5, 2015 and contains 2176 monuments.
division
There are more than 2100 architectural monuments in Nuremberg. For this reason, partial lists were created. You can switch between the monument lists of the districts using the navigation bar. The inner city is subdivided into further lists due to the size of the list.
Both individual buildings and listed ensembles are listed in the district lists.
Old town ensemble
Nuremberg owes its beginnings to royal, Salian-Staufer imperial politics, but bourgeois forces, led by a patrician upper class, led the city to the height of its urban development in the 15th and 16th. Century and its world-historical status as a late medieval city and ideal embodiment of the German imperial city, as a long-distance trade and commercial center and as the center of German art production in the age of Dürer, the most famous Nuremberg man.
In the middle of the wooded King's Land on the old Bavarian Nordgau, founded around 1040 by Emperor Heinrich III. a new imperial castle. The complex, on a sandstone ridge above the Pegnitz, served as a base for the Salian policy of expanding imperial power. In further pursuit of these efforts, the Hohenstaufen expanded the castle, which formed the unmistakable crown of the old town through the centuries and beyond the destruction of Nuremberg in the Second World War . - The nucleus of the development of the settlement in the early days of Nuremberg was also the royal farmyard east of the castle, where the Schottenkonvent of St. Egidien had settled since the middle of the 12th century, and on the southern bank of the Pegnitz another royal court, where since In 1206 the Teutonic Order Commander St. Jakob set up. Under the protection of the castle, at the foot of its rock, and around St. Egidien, the earliest urban settlement, known as burgus in 1163, grew up. Their order essentially corresponds to the contour lines of the castle hill. The inner Laufergasse, Theresienstraße, Albrecht-Dürer-Platz, Bergstraße, which extends between the later Laufer Schlagturm in the east and the Tiergärtnertor in the north, denotes the main axis of the burgus, while the steep Burgstraße from the Pegnitz in the south to the Burgberg in North forms the transverse main train. In the late 14th century, the Tiergärtnertor was devalued by the Neutor, which is less difficult to reach and located in the northwest towards Würzburg and Frankfurt, so that the Füllgasse-Lammsgasse, a direct northwest extension of Theresienstraße, also gained importance.
This burgus of servants, long-distance traders and craftsmen emancipated itself from the mother parish of Poppenreuth in the 2nd third of the 13th century and replaced an older St. Peter's chapel, which housed the remains of the revered hermit Sebald, with a pillar basilica, which, in 1255, was still in place in 1230/40 before its completion it is called a parish church and was consecrated to Sebald and Peter. The great pilgrimage that arose to the grave of Sebald, who was only canonized in 1425, favored the city's development. Sebald himself rose to become the city patron of Nuremberg, which developed rapidly and whose citizenship appeared as a corporation for the first time in the middle of the 13th century, represented by the council, which gradually fought for civil self-government. In the same century, the "Sebalder Stadt" was already fortified and enclosed the old Schottenstift, an Augustinian monastery since 1255 and a Dominican settlement since 1276 within its walls. The structure of the latter two monasteries is no longer effective in the urban structure: the Augustinian monastery was demolished in 1872 and rebuilt in the area of the Germanic National Museum, the Dominican church was laid down in 1807, the monastery buildings survived the last war only in remnants.
To the left of the Pegnitz the somewhat younger "Lorenzer Stadt" is presented as a Staufer plan foundation. Extending from St. Jakob in the west in a longitudinal oval to the east, it is arranged in a system that is almost straight, parallel, but concentric towards the White Tower Longitudinal axes - Adlerstrasse, Karolinenstrasse, Brunnengasse, Breite Gasse, Frauengasse - which are caught by the transverse axis, the Königstrasse, which runs south from the Pegnitz crossing. The town's second large parish church, St. Lorenz, was built on this transverse axis, replacing two older chapels, since the second half of the 13th century. The Lorenz city, which housed smaller traders and craftsmen, was already walled in in the 13th century, but moved into - with the exception of the Franciscan monastery founded around 1224, whose monk choir from the late 13th century has been preserved in the modern building at Königstrasse 3 - neither the Teutonic Order nor the monasteries of the Magdalenerinnen (St. Clare, founded probably before 1232), the Carmelites (founded 1287), the Dominican Sisters (founded before 1295) into the Bering. This "penultimate fortification" was completed in 1320/25 with the connection of the two halves of the city across the Pegnitz.
The river, with its open course, its islands, the later bridges, mills and buildings, including the Heilig-Geist-Spital, founded in 1339, remained an important, also commercially used element in the city organism. The river basin between Sebalder and Lorenzer Stadt was also built on, and at a central point, north of the Fleischbrücke, the main market was laid out in 1349 after a Jewish pogrom in place of the abandoned ghetto and the fruit market to the east. The measure had been initiated by Emperor Charles IV, who had close ties to Nuremberg. In 1355 he donated the Frauenkirche, which dominates the main market, and at the same time market church, expiatory church for the pogrom and imperial chapel, the richly designed west facade of which refers to the emperor and empire. The building documents the penetration of Prague parler art and the interlude of courtly-imperial art practice from around 1400 in the urban fabric of the bourgeois imperial city. The western front of St. Lorenz was created in the same spirit, and is conceived as the highlight and focal point of a planned imperial via triumphalis.
At the same time, the continuity of bourgeois building manifests itself in the high hall choir of St. Sebald, completed in 1379, which also documents a new style of piety. The steep choir roof, which towers above the lower ridge of the nave roof and faces the double tower western front, was joined a century later by the similar choir house of St. Lorenz over the left bank of the river - also opposite a double-towered west section and a lower nave. These two weighty accents in the roof landscape of Nuremberg's old town - apart from the dominant buildings on the Burgberg - have been subordinated to the buildings of the city in terms of storey height and roof design for centuries. The greatest achievement of the 14th century in the field of secular building was the inclusion of the suburbs in the east and south with all the monasteries, to which the Carthusian monastery was the last to join in 1380, in an enlarged Bering.
This “last fortification” was built in 1346. By 1400 the imperial city had reached its final size. In three centuries, the fortification belt with its towers, walls, the five gate towers that are characteristic of the townscape, were reinforced with stone mantles in the 16th century, with its moats and finally also with entrenchments and modernized in the 16th century in view of the threats posed by the growing principality . The belt that has surrounded the city like a tank since then is the best preserved of all major European cities. Rescued or restored after the expansion of the city in the 19th century and the bombing raids between August 1942 and April 1945, it is a major monument of the city's identity. The gate towers are strategically worthless, because how one had to defend oneself in the middle of the 16th century could have been read from Dürer. They embody a claim that may already be understood as the Old Nuremberg Romanticism of the 16th century, at least today it manifests the image of the old town as an ensemble.
The uniformity and uniformity of the late medieval Nuremberg townscape, which continued to have an impact despite the destruction, are essentially determined by the type of historical private building, by the Nuremberg town hall. Strict building legislation has favored stone houses since the 15th century, and it was also required to build on the eaves side; Projections of the storeys were undesirable, half-timbered buildings were generally not allowed, but they never died out. House projections and the formation of corner houses, which provide visual targets and space delimitation, are characteristic of the old town streets; richer design was allowed here. The design of the details, including the characteristic oriels (“little chorels”), decorative gables, elevator hatches and dormers, was carried out within the framework of these standards, which also stipulated the ridge height and the tile covering of the roofs. With a few exceptions (e.g. the Pellerhaus, 1607), the need for greater effort is evident in the inner courtyards of the patrician houses.
The mannerist, for the most part communal buildings of the 15th and early 16th centuries were part of the townscape that was essentially completed during the Dürer period. Even the three-wing building of the town hall, a communal palazzo based on the model of Italian buildings, does not interrupt the harmony of the grown urban organism. The only important building in the imperial city in the 16th century, the Egidienkirche, which was rebuilt after a fire between 1711 and 1718, prefers a cool, classicist baroque style. In private construction, it was limited to a few restrained baroque facade decorations, otherwise to the furnishing of interiors and the creation of baroque gardens. Only those coming from the Teutonic Order, who remained in a special position until the end of the old empire, both confessionally and politically, enforced their special claim with a special shape in the cityscape with the classicist dome of their Elisabethkirche, which was built around 1800. The old quarters around Milchmarkt and Weinmarkt did undergo changes in the 18th century as far as individual town houses were concerned, but few new Nuremberg ingredients were added in the 19th century.
In spite of the fact that the monument substance is still dense today, it cannot be ignored that the war destruction and the reconstruction with much enlarged properties led to disturbances and structural changes. The old neighborhood border and axis between Tetzelstrasse and Theresienstrasse lost its rich historical substance and at the same time was expanded to become the axis that exists today and is connected to the fruit market. At such places, the difference between the old town that can be experienced and the renewed old town, which in some cases only referred to the preserved underground supply facilities, becomes abundantly clear. In a much more serious way, the axis Am Hallertor / Maxplatz / Augustinerstraße and Nägeleinsplatz were only established through structural changes after the Second World War. The former Barfüsser Viertel, the eastern section of the Lorenz city side, was already blown up in the 19th century by the large new buildings of the trade museum and Norishalle, the latter being replaced by a new building from 1965/67, which is worthy of monument and renovated in terms of monument preservation.
The few surviving medieval and late medieval churches with the even rarer secular buildings of the Renaissance period have remained artistically and historically decisive for the quarter. The center of this quarter is of course the slightly elevated Lorenz Church on the southern bank of the Pegnitz, which is designed as the highlight and sight of the planned imperial via triumphalis (Karolinenstrasse). The opening of Karolinenstrasse, which was the backbone of the Staufer plan foundation and the core of the Lorenz city side, was greatly expanded during the reconstruction after the Second World War, so that an urban expansion followed the ideas of the 19th century. Only the Nassauerhaus, at its core the only surviving family tower in Nuremberg, is the corner house diagonally opposite the west facade of the Lorenzkirche, the historical reference point and border point of the old church square. St. Lorenz is not only the focal point of Karolinenstrasse, but also the focal point of Königstrasse, as the church is a turning point in its course and is also the most important focal point from the south and north. With the toll hall, Königstraße has another weighty monumental building from the imperial city era.
The former monastery church of St. Klara has become a historical monument that has been greatly repressed in urban planning terms as a result of the redesign of the street in the 19th century, while the Marthakirche, originally founded as a church of a pilgrims' hospital, was even completely displaced from the cityscape and street scene by the commercial buildings presented. Also the Johannisgasse with a row of small craftsmen's houses from the 16th and 17th centuries. Century and the building yard with the master builder's house are old town areas that were either completely covered or restricted in their urban planning effect by the 19th century. Even the secluded building yard, like Königstrasse, Luitpoldstrasse and Lorenzer Strasse, shows that the district essentially got its character from the construction work of the late 19th century.
The Königstraße was extensively restructured and rebuilt in the 19th century as the approximately north-south main artery and connection between the center and train station. Today these numerous four-storey sandstone buildings (commercial buildings, hotel buildings and also stately apartment buildings) are mostly kept in the New Nuremberg style, defining the street scene. But even in this area, which had already been redesigned in the 19th century, the reconstruction after the Second World War further reduced the number of properties and thus increased the large-scale development, whereby the structure and rhythm for a new department store were restructured. The urban development of the 19th century, such as Luitpoldstrasse, which was newly laid out on the site of the former Klarakloster, is an expression of this systematized and unifying tendency. In comparison, this was less pronounced on Königstraße, as it is still impossible to turn a street that has been created through so much history into an actually straightened “modern” axis.
Even with the large-scale interventions of the 20th century, the most diverse visual relationships that got stuck on historical buildings have been preserved. This also applies to the Vordere Sterngasse-Pfannenschmiedgasse-Königstraße-Museum Bridge axis, as well as to Lorenzer Straße. The former axis, with the toll hall and the rest of the armory, has preserved an imperial city pivot; the latter still has buildings dating from the Wilhelminian era on its northern side and ends in the Marientor, whose function as the exit from the city was architecturally accentuated until the construction of the 1930s. The historical characteristic of this quarter at the Frauentor is therefore the setting of a medieval old town through the 19th century. Also in the district near St. Elisabeth, between Josephsplatz and Spittlertor (Ludwigstor), with the western Kornmarktviertel, dense old-town zones are united with those from the Wilhelminian style. Urban historical developments meet here; on the one hand the Staufer plan foundation as the starting point of urban development on the Lorenz side of the city and on the other hand the city expansion up to the last city fortifications. The border point between the two areas is the white tower of the penultimate city fortifications, from which the above-mentioned main axis Ludwigsplatz-Karolinenstraße-Lorenzkirche starts. In its eastern part, this was predominantly made up of commercial buildings from the turn of the century. As a result of the redesign, today's Ludwigsplatz was given the same meaning as Josephsplatz, which was the old main square on the Lorenz side of the city; the construction work of the 19th century thus introduced the first new weightings in the urban fabric. The Vordere and Hintere Ledergasse, the Obere and Untere Wörthgasse, as well as the Mühlengasse, all of which show the old Staufer street grid in their course, are on the other hand in their development with numerous examples of craftsmen and also fishermen's houses from the 16th and 17th centuries. Century remained on the Lorenz side the area with the densest monument substance. The destruction of the war and the pressure to change did not intervene here, while Lorenzerstrasse was changed, although overall the basic Staufer plan was retained as the structure of the reconstruction of the 1950s.
Because it was decided in 1950 to rebuild based on the designs by Heinz Schmeißner and Wilhelm Schlegtendal, who instead of a radical new concept had proposed rebuilding based on the old city structure, the city has been preserved as a unit within the city fortifications. The building lines have only been partially straightened and the proportions of the parcels have essentially been retained as a structure. The expansion of some of the main axes for improved traffic management also referred to the traditional road system. In this urban whole, which is enclosed and defined by the city fortifications, the reconstruction of the monumental buildings in the sense of post-war monument preservation also restored the visual and relationship axes that confirm the historical structure. This reconstruction, which promotes continuity, includes B. also the residential development on the Sebalder side, the old structures in their simplicity; Its proportions and use have been preserved, as has the largely fragmented roof landscape. Particularly noteworthy are the large public buildings, such as B. the new town hall on the main market from 1954/55, near the hall of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce from 1955/56 instead of the destroyed weighing building, the municipal conservatory from 1955/57 at the Katharinenkloster, the new wing from 1952/54 of the college for Economics and social sciences on the south bank of the Pegnitz, the new building of the city archive and city library with components of the former Pellerhaus on Egidienplatz from 1955/57, as well as the Willstätter grammar school behind the Egidienkirche from 1955/56. With these buildings, which could already be assigned the character of a monument, the basic principles of preservation as preservation of the dominance of large monuments and buildings, the integration of these into the overall structure of the city, the preservation of the essential urban structure even with high-quality replacement and thus the preservation and the definition of the old town as a unit compared to the outlying urban extensions was updated in a high quality. The new buildings and reconstructions of the post-war period in accordance with these principles set the benchmark for the renewal of the old town of Nuremberg, even if they did not themselves have the character of a monument. So the continuity-creating services of the reconstruction have become part of the ensemble identification. File number: E-5-64-000-1.
City fortifications
Castle
In terms of architectural history, the Nuremberg Castle consists of the Burggrafenburg, the Imperial Castle and other imperial city buildings. It already existed before the market at its feet developed into a city and was fortified. The castle is located on the highest hill at the northernmost point of the city of Sebald. The fortifications and fortifications are integrated into the last town fortifications.

Allegedly the oldest city wall
The remains of the wall found in Tetzelgasse contain large, neatly hewn sandstone blocks, which speaks against a development before the 14th century. There is therefore no evidence of the oldest city fortifications.

Last city wall
The last city fortification of Nuremberg represents the largest monument in the city in terms of area. In 1452 the last city fortification was completed. The castle was integrated into the fortification system at the northern end. The wall towers are numerous and were designated with colored letters from 1499 onwards according to the system of the seven-colored alphabet to better identify the places of deployment of the men who were fit for military service . Starting at the castle, the following clockwise designations are black A – Z, blue A – Z, red A – Z and green A – O. At the same time the casemate towers are numbered clockwise with Roman numerals.

Even these representations, although they are updated daily by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation , do not always and everywhere reflect the current status. Therefore, the presence or absence of an object in this list or in the Bavarian Monument Atlas does not guarantee that it is currently a registered monument or not. The Bavarian List of Monuments is also an information directory. The monument property - and thus the legal protection - is defined in Art. 1 of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act (BayDSchG) and does not depend on the mapping in the monument atlas or the entry in the Bavarian monument list. Objects that are not listed in the Bavarian Monument List can also be monuments if they meet the criteria according to Art. 1 BayDSchG. Early involvement of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation according to Art. 6 BayDSchG is therefore necessary in all projects.
