DE-7741333 Nuremberg (Nürnberg) Bavaria, Germany

Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is the second-largest city of the German federal state of Bavaria after its capital of Munich, and its 511,628 (2016) inhabitants make it the 14th largest city of Germany. Nuremberg is the largest city and the unofficial capital of Franconia. 

Nuremberg held great significance during the Nazi Germany era. Because of the city's relevance to the Holy Roman Empire and its position in the centre of Germany, the Nazi Party chose the city to be the site of huge Nazi Party conventions — the Nuremberg rallies. The rallies were held in 1927, 1929 and annually from 1933 through 1938. After Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933 the Nuremberg rallies became huge Nazi propaganda events, a centre of Nazi ideals. After the Second World War, Nuremberg provided the site for the Nuremberg trials which held to account many major Nazi officials for war crimes during the war.

Nuremberg was an early centre of humanism, science, printing, and mechanical invention. It is a major cultural centre.

Personal Note:  I have visited Nuremberg twice, the last visit was in 2017 - I like especially the Old Town and the beautiful churches within that area. Three stunning churches come to mind : Frauenkirche, St. Lorenz church and St. Sebaldus church. They were super beautiful, both inside and out.  The main purpose of my second visit was to visit the yearly Spielwarenmesse.
