The Weinstadel is a medieval and imperial city building in Nuremberg . It is one of the most famous monuments in the northern part of Nuremberg's old town and is a stop on the Nuremberg Historical Mile . The name Weinstadel is derived from its function as a former imperial city wine warehouse, which was set up around 1571 on the ground floor of the main building.

location

The Wine Store is the Sebalder old town on Maxplatz , north of Pegnitz at the Maxbruecke , opposite the flea market island .

history

The Weinstadel was built from 1446 to 1448 outside the penultimate city fortifications and was used for three days during Holy Week for the accommodation and feeding of lepers (special sickness). The construction went back to the 1394 donated Sondersiechen- Almosen . Since it was only used during Holy Week, nuns from Pillenreuth found refuge here in times of war (e.g. during the Margrave Wars).

When the special smell feed was moved to St. Johannis in 1575, the building could be used more intensively: craftsmen, poor families, a women's spinning house and hospital accommodation were housed here over time. The ground floor served as an imperial city wine store from around 1571, from which the current name is derived. In 1627 the hospital was relocated to the newly acquired "show house".

During the bombing raid on October 3, 1944 , the building was badly hit by an explosive device.

1950 Weinstadel, together with the structurally related him water tower to a hall of residence of the students work Nürnberg transformed with a total of 74 places.

The building

With a length of 48 meters, the Weinstadel is the largest half-timbered building in Germany. There are two half-timbered upper floors above the ground floor made of sandstone . The three-storey gable roof was placed on top. At the front of the Pegnitz, the building is equipped with wooden galleries that are provided with metal gargoyles.

On the east side there is a striking roof bay window from 1448 with annexes . It has a pointed arch window and is also provided with a gable roof. It is considered to be the oldest roof bay in Nuremberg. On the first floor of the east side, the house is structurally connected to an old city wall tower (the water tower ) in the form of a bridge-like building in half-timbered construction and with a gable roof , which in turn is built on a covered bridge over the Pegnitz with the flea market island .

While the roof structure largely corresponds to the condition of the time it was built, the interior of the Weinstadel has been designed in a modern way.
