    The Henkerbrücke, which leads over the northern arm of the Pegnitz (the Henkersteg goes over the arm that flows south past the flea market island), can only be reached through the Henkerhaus Museum. The medieval, half-timbered, two-arched bridge leads from the Henkerhaus to the water tower and the Weinstadl (now a student residence). The original bridge from the 15th century was destroyed in the Second World War. In 1954 it was rebuilt based on old models.

      The executioner and his assistant lived here on the outskirts of the city from the 15th to the 19th century. In the former official residence, the "executioner's house", there is an exhibition on Nuremberg's legal history. The half-timbered house next door served as a leper hospital in the Middle Ages. Later, the building now known as the "Weinstadel" was used as a wine warehouse.

        The Henkersteg is located in a very secluded part of downtown Nuremberg and blends in perfectly with the historical backdrop.
