Summary

This book presents a detailed historical account of the city of Nuremberg, a city that today is perhaps best known as the site of the military tribunals orchestrated by the Allied forces after World War II. However, its prior history is also rich. The Story of Nuremberg is highly recommended for those with an interest in nineteenth-century European history. Contents include: "Development of Nuremberg", "Nuremberg and the Reformation", "Nuremberg and the Thirty Years War", "The Castle, the Walls and Mediæval Fortifications", "The Council and the Council House-Nuremberg Tortures", "Albert Durer and the Arts and Crafts of Nuremberg", "The Meistersingers and Hans Sachs", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this were becoming increasingly rare or expensive. This volume is now republished in an available, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction. First published in 1901.
