Description

The locations of iconic scenes captured in films such as Triumph of the Will, including the rally grounds where Hitler addressed his multitudes, the astonishing Congress Hall, and the entire ‘new Rome’ area designed by the architect Albert Speer, are still largely intact. We'll take you to these places and tell you their stories.

You'll also see the other Nuremberg that locals are rightly proud of. The medieval fortifications of the striking Old Town, Gothic churches, colourful marketplaces, and the imperial hilltop castle are as awe-inspiring today as ever.

Nuremberg hosted the Imperial Diet (or parliament) of the Holy Roman Empire and was nominated an Imperial Free City by the Emperor Frederick II. It was a cultural hub at the centre of major imperial trade routes. It played a key role in the Reformation, and in the printing and scientific revolutions that shaped the modern world.

It was also home to one of Germany's oldest Jewish communities. The former rally grounds today host a major Documentation Centre that maps all of this painful history in detailed clarity and is evidence of Nuremberg's determination to come to terms with its past.
