- Description:
Nuremberg’s many fine merchants’ houses were very solid, very comfortable and very conservative in style. The Toplerhaus was built by Wolf Topler in 1590 and expanded in 1597. It served as the German National Museum starting in 1853 and was destroyed during WWII. Because of a decision to expand the Straßenverbreiterung, it was not rebuilt.

- Description:
The Fleisch Bridge is notable for several technical features that were advanced for its time. These include an unusual large width of 15.3 m, and a clear span of 27 m which made it the largest masonry bridge arch in Germany at the time of its construction.

The bridge crosses the river Pegnitz in the center of the old town, linking the districts St. Sebald and …
