Abandoned

There used to be a tram line in Äussere Bayreuther Strasse, but it has been replaced by the metro long ago. The rails are still there, slowly rusting away and grown over.

The Castle again

Such a tourist picture ;-)

Old and narrow

I liked how this narrow, old house survived between the big and modern buildings around it. It also houses one of my favourite cafés in Nuremberg, Black Bean on Ludwigsplatz.

Street art

Found literally around the corner from my place, no further comments ;-)

Still not spring

Outside there's still not the right weather and no light for new pictures, so here's another one from the archives: Henkersteg, a small pedestrian bridge over the Pegnitz, between Unschlittplatz and Trödelmarkt.

Very urban

Today I was walking all day through the snowy and pretty wet countryside north of Nuremberg, so this is taken from my archive of unused blog photos from last year: the metro station Opernhaus.

Memory

A small plate on a house near Heilig Geist Spital remembers charitable deeds: Konrad Gross founded the Heilig-Geist Spital in 1332 for sick and old people. It is still used as a nursing home.

In the year 1486 the pharmacy next to it was founded by citizens of Nuremberg. It is also still a pharmacy, so when you're in Nuremberg with a headache, you can buy your pain killers at a historic site, between Hauptmarkt and Pegnitz. The drugs they sell are modern, of course ;-)
