Abstract
To students and specialists of German and general cultural history, the central Bavarian city of Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is historically known for its contributions to art, music, and literature; in more recent decades, for technology and politics. One has little difficulty in recalling the artistic stars of a semi-millennium ago: Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), the native Nuremberger painter, and Veit Stoss (1445?-1533), the Nuremberg-nurtured sculptor who won fame for his masterpieces in Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland. The metropolis on the Pegnitz has also gained recognition for toys, Trichter (a funnel which functions as a royal road to knowledge), and the Tribunal set up in 1945 by the victorious Allied Powers to try twenty-two leading National Socialists for crimes against the human race. Nuremberg is the city of Hans Sachs (1494-1576), the shoemaker-poet-dramatist who is the hero of Richard Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg."
