Nuremberg is the biggest city in Franconia (Northern Bavaria). It is on the River Pegnitz and was a prosperous city in the late Middle Ages. It was situated at the point where two major trade routes crossed - one from Frankfurt and the Rhineland to Prague and the other from Lübeck, Hamburg and other ports to southern Germany and the Alps. It includes a splendid castle.

The city was well known for the Guild of Meistersingers. Hans Sachs and Albrecht Dürer are particularly known citizens of the Renaissance period.

In the 20th century the city became notorious for the Nazi party rallies, for the Nuremberg race laws, and it was of course the seat of the International Military Tribunal.
