Mittelalterliche Lochgefängnisse

Die Lochgefängnisse in den Kellergewölben des Nürnberger Rathauses dienten seit dem 14. Jahrhundert zur Untersuchung und Verwahrung von Häftlingen bis zur Urteilsvollstreckung. Zwölf kleine Zellen und eine Folterkammer vermitteln ein bedrückendes Bild damaliger Gerichtsbarkeit.

For a night out or a family day in Nürnberg, venues like this one are best checked for opening times and events on the day itself, since programmes change. The season matters: beer gardens open from April into October, Christmas markets run through Advent, and open-air cinemas and festivals fill the summer. U-Bahn and S-Bahn services run through the night at weekends in the big cities, with night buses elsewhere, so plan the trip home.

Opening hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–6 pm. Hours in Germany do change around public holidays, and many businesses close for a day or two over Christmas and Easter, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.

Nürnberg is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. German addresses put the street name before the house number, followed by the five-digit postcode and the town, as in "Marienplatz 8, 80331 München". The map link on this page shows the exact spot.
