Straddling the River Pegnitz, Nuremberg (Nürnberg) was Germany's largest medieval city until it was destroyed in World War II. With its stunningly romantic townscape of gabled buildings and steep red roofs set within the ring of its massive walls, its typical Germanic appearance commended it to the Nazis, who held their great pre-war rallies here. Later it was also the site of the war-crime trials. Today the city has been largely rebuilt according to its old street pattern, and something of its ancient atmosphere remains, especially by the riverside and beneath the castle, the Kaiserburg, where Dürer's House is located. Nuremberg's treasures are stored in its great churches and superb museums. Among the latter are the Toy Museum, Transport Museum, and the extensive German National Museum featuring German art from all periods.
Albrecht Dürer's House ing Nuremberg served as the home of the great renaissance artist and polymath from 1509 until his death in 1528. Dating back to 1418, it is a fine example of a Nuremberg patrician residence, and was one of the few to survive World War II relatively intact. It contains paintings inspired by Dürer, but no original works by him.
