What to do and see in Altstadt - St. Sebald, Bavaria: The Best Monuments & Statues

September 18, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

With half a million people, Nuremberg is Bavaria's second largest city. While its history dates to the 11th century, Nuremberg is most often linked to the 20th century (specifically World War II). It first served as the site of many pre-war Nazi rallies, then was nearly leveled by Allied bombing, then was the site of the famous post-war Nuremberg Trials. The city has much to offer today's visitors, including the rebuilt Nuremberg Castle and the world-famous gingerbread at Hauptmarkt. Hansel and Gretel would have loved this place.

Das Schlafende Nashorn

Heard of the new magical rhino a couple of weeks ago. Centered near Hauptmarkt in Nuremberg, this rhino wants to get stroked. Take a wish and enjoy the magic of Nurembergs sleeping rhino. Recommend it!

Der Hase

Our tour guide said it was a commentary on the yevils of transporting live animals, which sounded very possible. (The hare is escaping from a wooden crate. ) Seen in that light it is very moving. I won't forget it in a hurry. Not actually by Durer but another artist in 1984

Narrenschiffbrunnen

Reviewed By Marco_Num1 - London, United Kingdom

The Shipmof Fools was one of the best landmark statues that I saw in the day that I spent in Nuremberg.What an interesting cast:a ship with 2 jester heads one on each end,a dog,a skeleton/grim reaper,a woman, a boy among others. You really need to do a 360 degree walk around this statue to take it all in as it looks different from every angle.Amazing statue,that is very much worth a photo opportunity.
