structure

The quarter is criss-crossed by many office and commercial buildings. It was badly damaged by the air raids of World War II , so that in the first years after the war it was even referred to as the Sebald Steppe. While large parts of the east of the main market in particular were built in the simple post-war architecture of the 1950s and 1960s, there are many historical buildings and streets, some of which have been reconstructed, in the remaining quarter.

People have been driving tunnels and cellars in the Nuremberg rocks since the 14th century . There are therefore numerous former rock cellars , which were used as air raid shelters during the Second World War, under the district . The best known of these bunkers is the panier bunker .

history

Sebald was named after Saint Sebaldus of Nuremberg , who might have built a St. Peter's Chapel north of the Pegnitz River himself. As part of the old town, the history of the quarter is otherwise largely identical to the history of the city of Nuremberg .

Attractions

The facade of the Pellerhaus from 1605 was considered one of the most important secular Renaissance facades until its destruction in 1945. The Pellerhof inside is being rebuilt by the Altstadtfreunde Nürnberg .

More than half of the sights of Nuremberg summarized under the Nuremberg Historic Mile are located in the old town of Sebald. The best known include:

The world-famous Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt also takes place every year during Advent on the main market.
