The St. Jakobskirche in Nuremberg is the starting point of the Middle-Franconian Camino from Nuremberg to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. In the vestibule of the church is the only pilgrim center in Bavaria. It is open on Wednesdays from 2pm to 6pm and on Fridays from 11am to 6pm and on Saturdays from 9am to 12pm. The church itself is about 950 years old and is a pilgrimage church on the way to Santiago de Compostela to the tomb of the Apostle James. In the church you will find the oldest surviving high altar of Nuremberg around 1370 and works of art from the school of Veit Stoß and Michael Wohlgemut, the teacher Albrecht Dürer.

St. Jakob is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Nuremberg. It is located in the south-west of the Jakoberviertel in the old town of Lorenz. The church is a station on the Franconian Way of St. James.

The church was handed over to the Teutonic Order on February 20, 1209 as a small Romanesque chapel by Emperor Otto IV. It was demolished about 80 years later and the demolition material was used for a new building, which was built on the old choir foundation. The Teutonic Order founded the St. Elisabeth Hospital opposite the church. King Frederick II endowed the order with more and more possessions. In 1304 the old royal court and the surrounding area were added. During the Reformation, St. Jacob's Church became one of the city's evangelical churches. A preacher position was created in 1531, but the church remained in the possession of the Catholic Teutonic Order.

In 1632, during the Thirty Years' War, King Gustav Adolf expropriated the Teutonic Order, handed over the Jakobskirche to the city of Nuremberg and had extensive renovations carried out. In 1648 it was returned to the Teutonic Order by the provisions of the Peace of Westphalia. As part of the secularization, the house of the Teutonic Order fell with all buildings to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806.

In 1810 St. Jakob became the third evangelical town parish church.
