About St. Jakob

Deutsche Post counters and DHL Packstations handle letters and parcels.

Opening hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 9 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. You can reach St. Jakob on 0911 2142500; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions, and many businesses also take enquiries and bookings by e-mail or WhatsApp. Its website is jakobskirche-nuernberg.de, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 418 reviews, which is a strong result for a kirchen in Nürnberg and suggests consistent service.

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. Getting around Nürnberg is easiest by U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram and bus, all covered by the Deutschlandticket that is valid on local and regional transport across Bayern and beyond; parking in city centres is scarce and either paid or limited by Parkscheibe, so public transport or a bike is usually quicker than driving.

Beautiful Lutheran church that keeps it's medieval vibe at least on the outside, the inside is heavily modified and modernized but you can still enjoy old pieces such as the high altar, definitely worth visiting since the area is home to a few other churches and monuments

St. Jakob is a medieval church located at Jakobplatz. Dedicated to Saint James the Greater, the church has a long history dating back to the early 13th century. Badly damaged during WWII bombings, St. Jakob was restored with modifications. The exterior maintains its medieval appearance, brown brick walls and a single tower. However, the interior shows includes modern and conservative features. The Nave is a simple hall. There is a very attractive high altar that dates to the 14th-century. That was the most interesting thing we found inside. Give St. Jakob a brief visit if you like seeing historic churches during your travels. You can conveniently combine with the Neo-classical Elisabethkirche which is just across the square from St. Jakob.

Such a beautiful church that is filled with history. There are also many Pokemon Go stops in the area!

A stone building placed in Jakobsplatz. Not very big and not out of common. There are at least three more impressive churches in Nuremberg, St Sebaldus, St Lorenz and Frauenkirche. But this one worth a short visit.
