Fruit in strange places

Entry to Germanic National Museum.

There's a view somewhere

After you've climbed the hill to the castle, this is what you see just before the gorgeous view over the city and even the countryside around Nuremberg is revealed. The two church spires are from St. Sebald.

Taken in spring, at one of the first warm days of 2007.

Leftovers

As the city grew in size, the city wall ring was enlarged in several steps, so what once was an outer gate now is in the middle of the old city, guarding nothing.

I don't even know how much of this one is original, but it is cute and keeps the visitors happy. :)

Kaiserburg

View over a part of the old (well, rebuilt) town to the castle.

Caffè!

In a newly opened tiny espresso bar at Paniersplatz. (Thanks, guest photographer! :) )

Reflections

... and once more, because I like the building so much.

Art

New Museum of Art and Design, again.

City wall and moat

It almost looks like a peaceful scene of some castle, somewhere in the countryside... but the large building behind the trees gives away the illusion: this is right in the center of Nuremberg with a lot of traffic noise behind us.

Almost summer

Klarissenplatz, early May.

No driver!

View from one of the new metro (line U3) trains which are operated fully automatically. Right now passengers are only allowed on these trains on some days, on June 14 the U3 will be officially opened.

Woman with wings

I do not know if this lady has a name, but she adorns the main entrance to Nurembergs police headquarters.

Memorial

Remembering people who died of AIDS. On the pavement between St. Elisabeth and St. Jakob, near Weisser Turm.

Inside St. Elisabeth

The teutonic knights (Deutscher Orden) had a large hospital in Nuremberg, but there's nothing left of it. There's now a catholic church, St. Elisabeth, built in the 18th century, and rebuilt after the second world war. The interior is a circle, and this is the dome from the inside.

Goat

This friendly little guy is part of a large fountain sculpture, right in front of the Metro "Weisser Turm".

Hostel

In case someone should ever need a hostel in Nuremberg -- this one is right inside the city wall, close to the Opernhaus metro station.

Germanic National Museum

Behind this wall is the very fine collection of musical instruments of the Germanic National Museum. The museum was closed that day, though.

Metro station Opernhaus

Open-air metro station just outside the old city wall - the building above it belongs to the Opera.

Main station

From inside the metro, the full string being "Hauptbahnhof".

Neues Museum für Kunst und Design

The curved facade of the Neues Museum für Kunst und Design (New Museum for Art and Design), and Klarissenplatz mirrored in it. Nobody around, and the cafés not open yet.

Windows

At Klarissenplatz.
