Beautifully set along the Pegnitz River in Nuremberg, the Heilig Geist Spital Restaurant and Wine Bar provides upscale dining - with a view - in a historic venue. The restaurant is in the former formal dining hall in the old Hospital of the Holy Spirit. Established in 1300s, the hospital was combined with a church - later destroyed during WWII - and provided a home for the elderly as well as a 100 bed facility for the sick. The remainder of the hospital is still used today, but has been converted into a retirement home.

The tower and the covered bridgeway over the Pegnitz River with the Weinstadel (Wine Store) on the left. The tower and wall are a part of the remaining wall that encircled the city in medieval times. In the 13th century, the ”penultimate city wall“ ran along here: at this point, the fortified bridge over the Pegnitz connected the two halves of the city.
Weinstadel = Wine Store, is a medieval building situated next to Hangman's Bridge. This area is very pretty! The weeping willow in the River was a rich golden colour, the brick work on the bridge was nice, and the Wine store was a fachwerk building painted in rust brown and white.
The building is one of the most important monuments of the historical center of Nuremberg. It was once a Wine Warehouse and has the distinction of being the largest timber-framed building in Germany.
History has it built between 1446 to 1448 and being used to house and feed Leper's in the Holy week for 3 days. During the war years, nuns from Pillenreuth took refuge here.
In 1571, the ground floor of the building was used for wine storage, then in 1575, it became an infirmary and where poor people were housed.
During a bombing raid in WWII, the building was heavily damaged.

Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is the second-largest city of the German state of Bavaria after its capital Munich, and its 541,000 inhabitants make it the 14th-largest city in Germany. On the Pegnitz River (from its confluence with the Rednitz in Furtz onwards: Regnitz, a tributary of the River Main) and the Rhein-Main-Danube Canal, it lies in the Bavarian administrative region of Middle Franconia and is the largest city and the unofficial capital of Franconia. The city lies about 110 miles (170 km) north of Munich.

Personal Note: In spite of the beautiful sky seen here, within an hour of capturing this image it would be pouring down rain and I would have to put my camera and lens inside my waterproof jacket to keep it from getting soaked.

Reflections of buildings along the canals in Nuremberg, Germany.
Nuremberg is situated on the Pegnitz river and the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal.
The second-biggest city within the whole of the Bavaria state, Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is a spirited and stimulating city, which tries hard to shake off its definite Nazi legacy and Nuremberg Trials past.
Today, the city looks forward and tries to promote itself, its famous sausages, and its tourism.

The Kettensteg suspension bridge is historic in its own right, being the oldest and longest iron suspension bridge in Europe. But the Schlayerturm (Schlayer Tower) behind it has been a part of Nuremberg's fortification, protecting the city, since the 15th century.

A lone pigeon crosses the frame in silent flight, just a few meters in front of the lens.
Behind it, the arch of the Fleischbrücke – a historic stone bridge in the heart of Nuremberg – spans the river.
The scene was captured from the Liebesinsel, a quiet spot between the riverbanks.
The city is calm, reflected in the water, windows glowing faintly, time seemingly paused.
The Fleischbrücke, first mentioned in 1335 and completed in its present form in 1598, is one of the most significant examples of late Renaissance bridge construction in Germany.
Built without a central pier to preserve the river’s flow and accommodate street traffic, the bridge was inspired in part by the Rialto Bridge in Venice.
Remarkably, it has remained virtually unchanged for over 400 years and even survived World War II with almost no damage.
It was listed as a historic monument in 1974 and honored in 2011 as a Historic Landmark of Civil Engineering in Germany.
This photo was taken in Nuremberg with the Leica D-Lux 8 – 100 Years of Leica edition – and it’s one of my very first images with it.
Technically identical to the standard D-Lux 8, this edition stands out through its design details. In daily use, I find both the zoom lever and the shutter release noticeably more pleasant to operate.
I’d like to thank the team at the Leica Store Nuremberg for their excellent support and for truly representing the Leica spirit.
A fleeting moment of motion within stillness.
The Heilig-Geist-Spital (Holy Spirit Hospital), an ancient medieval hospital, sits picturesquely over the waters of the Pegnitz River in Nuremberg historic city center. In 1332, the hospital was established to care for the elderly and the needy. Now it houses a lovely restaurant on the lower floor overlooking the water.

The Weinstadel is a medieval and imperial city building in Nuremberg . It is one of the most famous architectural monuments in the northern part of Nuremberg and is a station of the historic mile Nuremberg . The name Weinstadel derives from his capacity as a former rich urban wine warehouse, which had been set up about 1,571 on the ground floor of the main building [1] .
Location
The Weinstadel is located in the Sebalder Altstadt on Maxplatz , north of the Pegnitz on the Maxbrücke , opposite the flea market island .
History
The wine cemetery was built from 1446 to 1448 outside the penultimate city fortifications and served during the Holy Week for three days for the accommodation and feeding of lepers (Sonderschlieze). The building dates back to 1394 donated special- alms . Since it was used only in the Holy Week, found here in times of war (for example, during the Margrave wars) nuns from Pillenreuth refuge.
When the special feed was moved to St. Johannis in 1575, the building could be used more intensively: artisans, poor families, a women's spinner house and a hospital were housed here over time. The ground floor was used from about 1571 as a rich wine store, from which also derives today's name. The hospital was moved in 1627 to the newly acquired "Schauhaus" [2] .
During the air raid on October 3, 1944 , the building received heavy explosive bombs [3] .
In 1950, the Weinstadel, together with the water tower connected to it, was converted into a student residence of the Studentenwerk Nürnberg with a total of 74 places.
The building
With a length of 48 meters, the Weinstadel is the largest half-timbered building in Germany. Above from sandstone are two half-timbered upper floors brick ground floor. Then the saddle roof consisting of three storeys was set. On the front side to the Pegnitz, the building is equipped with wooden galleries, which are provided with metal gargoyles.
On the east side there is a striking dormer from 1448 with appendages . It has a pointed arch window and is also equipped with a saddle roof. He is the oldest Dormer Nuremberg [4] . On the first floor of the east side of the house is structurally connected in the form of a bridge-like building in half-timbered and saddle roof with an old city wall tower (the water tower ), which in turn is built on a bridge over the Pegnitz with the flea market island .
While the attic largely corresponds to the state of the construction period, the interior of the Weinstadels has been designed in a modern way [4]
It was a dark and stormy night, and throughout the town the candlelights glowed through the windows into the gloom.

After our visit to the grounds of the Nuremberg Imperial Castle we took this pleasnt walk downhill to the historical center of Nuremberg. Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is the second-largest city of the German state of Bavaria after its capital Munich, and its 541,000 inhabitants make it the 14th-largest city in Germany. On the Pegnitz River (from its confluence with the Rednitz in Furtz onwards: Regnitz, a tributary of the River Main) and the Rhein-Main-Danube Canal, it lies in the Bavarian administrative region of Middle Franconia, and is the largest city and the unofficial capital of Franconia. The city lies about 110 miles (170 km) north of Munich.

Schöner Brunnen (En: beautiful fountain), built by Heinrich Beheim from 1385 to 1396, is a 14th-century fountain located on Nuremberg's main market next to the town hall and is considered one of the main attractions of the city's Historical Mile. The fountain is approximately 19 meters high and has the shape of a Gothic spire. The 40 colorful figures that adorn the fountain represent the world view of the Holy Roman Empire. They are philosophy, the seven liberal arts, the four Evangelists, the four Church Fathers, the seven Prince-electors, the Nine Worthies, Moses and seven Prophets (Hosea, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Isaiah and Joel). The two brass rings (not seen here) embedded in the fence surrounding the fountain on opposite sides are said to bring good luck to those who spin them.

The Heilig-Geist-Spital (Hospital of the Holy Spirit) stands quietly over the Pegnitz River in the heart of Nuremberg’s old town. Built in the 14th century, it remains one of the city’s most iconic and photogenic landmarks.
Captured just after sunset, the photo shows the building’s warm interior lights reflected in the still waters below. The central oriel with its timber-framed façade is perfectly framed between the twin arches of the bridge and the surrounding sandstone façades.
The tree on the right balances the historical geometry with a touch of nature, while the quiet river mirror adds a sense of calm and timelessness.

Nuremberg Imperial Castle is composed of a group of medieval fortified buildings on a sandstone ridge dominating the historical center of Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. The castle, together with the city walls, is considered to be one of Europe's most formidable medieval fortifications. It represented the power and importance of the Holy Roman Empire and the outstanding role of the Imperial City of Nuremberg. In the Middle Ages, German kings (subsequently Holy Roman Emperors after their coronation by the Pope) did not have a capital but voyaged from one of their castles to the next. Thus, the castle at Nürnberg became an important imperial castle, and in the following centuries, all German kings and emperors stayed at the castle, most of them on several occasions. The first fortified buildings appear to have been erected around 1000. Thereafter, three major construction periods may be distinguished: the castle built under the Salian kings respectively Holy Roman Emperors (1027–1125); a new castle built under the Hohenstaufen emperors (1138–1254); and reconstruction of the Palas as well as various modifications and additions in the late medieval centuries. The castle lost its importance after the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). In the 19th century with its general interest in the medieval period, some modifications were added. During the Nazi period, in preparation of the Nuremberg party rally in 1936, it was "returned to its original state." A few years later, during World War II and its air raids in 1944/1945, a large part of the castle was laid in ruins. It took some thirty years to complete the rebuilding and restoration to its present state.

We were walking past the Old Town Hall on Hauptmarkt Street when we walked past #25 and captured this image. Given its proximity to the old Town Hall and to Nuremberg’s Main Market, I was surprised to find so little in the Internet about this painting. I was barely able to find its location and that the building houses the Nuremberg Chamber of Industry and Commerce founded in 1843 and based here on the main market square. This building burned down during the Second World War, but the little corner turret with the sundial was preserved. It is a semi-circular south-facing clock with pole rod, which dates back to before 1600. The painting depicts a medieval Nuremberg merchant procession.
