Nuremberg - St Sebaldus Side Nürnberg - Sebalder Seite

Nürnberg has preserved most of its circuit of walls (14th-15th c., strengthened in 16th-17th c.), with their numerous gates and towers.

The finest stretch of walls is on the west side of the town, between the massive Spittlertor and the former Maxtor. The best view of the walls, the old town and the Burg is from the Fürther Tor.

At the north end of Albrecht-Dürer-Strasse in Nuremberg, below the castle hill, is the 15th C. Dürer House, in which Dürer lived from 1509 until his death in 1528. It displays copies of some of his works.

At the nearby Tiergärtner Tor is a perfectly preserved little medieval square.

In Burgstrasse, which leads up from the Town Hall to the Burg in Nuremberg, is the late 16th C. Fembohaus (No. 15, on left), the town's best preserved old patrician house, now occupied by the Heimatmuseum (domestic interiors, history of the town).

In Hans-Sachs-Platz in Nuremberg, can be seen a monument to the cobbler and master singer Hans Sachs (1495-1576), whose workshop was near here. On the south side of the square, spanning an arm of the Pegnitz, is the Heilig-Geist-Spital (Hospital of the Holy Ghost), founded in 1331, in the courtyard of which is a Crucifixion group by Adam Krafft.

From here the Spitalbrücke leads on to the island of Schütte, between two arms of the Pegnitz, with the 14th century Männerschuldturm ("Men's Fault" Tower). To the southeast are the Katharinenbau and the Natural History Museum.

In Egidienplatz, near the east end of the Sebalder Seite in Nuremberg, stands St Giles' Church (Egidienkirche; 1711-18), Nürnberg's only Baroque church. In the Gothic Tetzel Chapel is the Landauer tomb by Adam Krafft.

The Municipal Library, opposite the church to the northwest, incorporates the arcades of the Pellerhaus (1605) which stood on this site.

To the west of St Sebaldus's Church, at Karlstrasse 13-15, is the Nürnberg Toy Museum (Spielzeugmuseum), with toys from many different countries and periods and a large model railroad layout.
