ART BUNKER

Unscathed by WWII

In the Second World War, Nuremberg sustained the most devastation of all cities in Germany after Dresden. Yet many of Nuremberg’s art treasures survived in a unique art bunker. After the war, the mediaeval old town was recreated out of the ruins. Find out how the art was saved and the city rebuilt.

WEHR- & GEHEIMGÄNGE unter der Burg

Deep within Nuremberg’s bastions, secret winding passages were built to defend the city. A labyrinth of metre-high casemates, the embrasures of which were used to fire at all angles across the moat. Fortifications that were never breached by the enemy and earned Nuremberg the reputation of being the best-protected city in the German Empire.

Surviving World War 3?

Passengers were to have the possibility of seeking shelter under the main train station.

Rock-cut water line

Water - vital for the existence of a city. Nuremberg’s citizens struck lucky deep within the castle rock.

Exploring these secret underground lifelines, we learn about the water supply and hygiene in Nuremberg of old.

ZERSTÖRT / REKONSTRUIERT

Reconstructing Nuremberg

Die Altstadt Nürnbergs war nach dem 2. Weltkrieg zu mehr als 90% vernichtet. Warum und wie wurde Nürnberg derart zerstört? Und warum gibt es heute wieder ein mittelalterliches Stadtzentrum? Auf einem ober- und unterirdischen Spaziergang durch die Altstadt gehen wir diesen Fragen nach und zeigen exemplarisch die Rekonstruktion der Altstadt, die bis zum heutigen Tag andauert
