NUREMBERG CASTLE


The Nurmerg Castle is a group of medieval buildings on top of a small sandstone mountain. It marked the center of Nuremberg. The whole construction was one of the greatest and most magnificent ones Europe had. The Nuremberg Castle is a "doublecastle" because it is made out of 2 other castles, the "Kaiserburg" and the "Burggrafenburg". The castle comprises both of them, and some more, less important medieval buildings. The first buildings were built around the year 1000. In WW2 the castle got destroyed completely by bombs. It took 30 years to rebuild and restore it. They tried to make the restorations look the same way as the original parts. And nowdays, the Nuremberg Castle and its history are very important to the Nurembergs. You can have a look at the inside of it too. It's opend daily from 9am - 6pm in the period from April - September and from 10am - 4pm in the period from October - September.

THE VOLKSFEST The "Nürnberger Volksfest" is an event everyone in Nuremberg knows. It takes place two times a year. One time in spring and the other one in autumn. The "Nürnberger Volksfest" stays for 2 weeks each time it's opend. It takes place at the "Volksfestplatz" Nuremberg, near the "dutzendteich". The "Volksfestplatz" is 100.000 squaremeters big. The first Volksfest was in autumn 1826 and was there to honor the bavarian King Ludwig 1st. But there's no historical meaning to it nowdays. It is a place to have fun at with friends or family. There are round about 23 main attractions like free fall towers, roller coasters and big wheels. And if u think you are not brave enough for these attractions, it's no problem. You can also just chill in one of the restaurants. Most of them are very Bavarian. It's recommended to go there at evening. All those funky lights, the music and the smell of cinnamon and sugar will ...

THE BEAUTIFUL FOUNTAIN Nuremberg's Beautiful Fountain is one of the most popular sights of Nuremberg. It represents the historical aspect of Nuremberg. It is 19m tall and looks like a church spire with gothic details. It isn't quite clear who has built it. Most say it was built by Heinrich Beheim in the period of 1385-1396. Others say it was built by Georg Rupprecht and Fritz Rupprecht in cooperation with Sebald Schonhofer. Fact is that the Beautiful Fountain had to be restored a lot of times. The Beautiful Fountain is very important to the people of Nuremberg. That's why it was protected by a concrete wall in WW2. According to the legend, it gives you luck spinning on a ring at the outer fence. But be careful, you have to spin the black ring for luck. The golden one is only there to trick people. That's something only the real Nurembergs know. Go and have a look. The exact location of the Beautiful Foutain Source picture: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wik...
