Kaiserburg

Nice climb, very beautiful and well-kept castle with beautiful plants that climb the walls. At the top there is also a tower and a viewing platform from which you have a great view of Nuremberg.

The castle is the symbol of Nuremberg. It is a double castle and consists of the Kaiserburg and the Burggrafenburg. The earliest buildings date back to the year 1000. Definitely worth a visit.

The building is owned by the Bavarian Palace Administration and is primarily used for tourist purposes. Individual buildings are also used as residential, official or museum buildings as well as temporarily for parties and state receptions. One of the largest and most modern youth hostels in Germany is located in the old imperial stables. The house with 355 beds was reopened in spring 2013 after renovation.

Nuremberg's Imperial Castle actually consists of three castles: the Imperial Castle, the Burgrave Castle and the Imperial Castle complex. An extremely impressive overall ensemble!

Handwerkerhäuschen "Am Ölberg" below the castle in Nuremberg The Handwerkerhäuschen belong to the important architectural monuments of Nuremberg's old town. They lie along the lane Am Ölberg at the foot of the Nuremberg Castle. This alley also houses the oldest half-timbered house in Nuremberg dating back to 1338.The craftsmen's cottages were built as small, single-storey residential and workshop houses for craftsmen, with in part only one or two rooms. These were later supplemented, but remained preserved in their medieval core. The original thatched roofs were banned early because of the fire hazard. Only a few of these narrow two-storey houses survived the bombing raids in the Second World War undamaged.

The symbol of Nuremberg. In the late Middle Ages, Nuremberg was considered the "most distinguished and best-situated city in the empire". The city was the scene of numerous imperial assemblies, and from 1356 the "Golden Bull" of Emperor Charles IV stipulated that every newly elected ruler must hold his first court day in Nuremberg. Nuremberg thus became one of the centers of the empire – alongside Frankfurt as the place where the king was elected and Aachen as the place where the king was crowned.

The imposing Kaiserburg is always worth a visit. There is also a magnificent view over the city.
