Erlebnisausstellung im Oberen Tor

The Erlebnisausstellung im Oberen Tor tells the story of Nuremberg merchant Georg Pelzer around 1600 and shows how strangers were received in the city back then. The gatekeeper Heinrich plays an important role, as he checks visitors and distributes coveted passes.

You can climb up a beautifully crafted turret staircase and enjoy a virtual panoramic view of the city from there – a real highlight in the Oberen Tor! 🌆

You'll also discover fascinating details about the last resident of the Oberen Tor, giving the exhibit a personal historical touch.

At the Blankenburger Tor, a lively scene of social life in the 17th century awaits you: from a bustling tavern with guild masters, journeymen and musicians to creating your own companion pass as a keepsake – here, history comes alive!
