Tucher Mausoleum

The Tucher family's final resting place, the Tucher mausoleum, is hidden and hidden from the public in the forest near Simmelsdorf. The Tucher are an old Nuremberg noble family from the high Middle Ages, whose members were able to write history as traders, travelers and councilors, especially later in the transition to the early modern period, while the city of Nuremberg was one of the most important centers of the empire.

The Tucher Mausoleum is located in the middle of the forest and was built in 1886 to plans by August Ottmar Essenwein. Here, the members of the traditional Patrician family Tucher are buried, which is often regarded as a Nuremberg family, but has its headquarters in Simmelsdorf.

The Tucher von Simmelsdorf are an influential patrician family of the imperial city of Nuremberg, first mentioned in 1309. The mausoleum is not open to the public.
