Weinstadel Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The Weinstadel is one of the city’s finest half-timbered buildings, with two half-timbered upper storeys cantilevered above the sandstone ground floor.
On the river side, wooden galleries with metal waterspouts; toward the Henkersteg, a bridge with a battlement walk. In the 13th century, the ”penultimate city wall“ ran along here: at this point, a fortified bridge over the Pegnitz connected the two halves of the city. The building was erected 1446/48 to house lepers who were allowed into the city for three days at Easter, during which time they received food and clothing and medical attention.
After ca 1571, the building was used to store wine - hence the name. It later served as workhouse and spinnery and to lodge poor families. In 1950 it was turned into student housing, whereby the internal structural substance was virtually obliterated.

Very nice shot of the most attractive place in Nürnberg. The whole center of the old city is very charming but his bridge with the old house is the best one. Excellent reflections in the water and good colours.
Very well done!

What a nice shot of the Weinstadel, Alex, very sharp and good composition. The colours are wonderful, just like the contrasts and the reflections. Nice to see.

Dzien Dobry Aleksander,
You got here a very attractive PoV to show these old buildings, it's a nice sunny view popping out between the trees, these trees also help give a country feeling to this big city, well done.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

I like the way you take pictures of buildings. You have a knack for finding a good point of view and making a very good composition out of it.
