Nuremberg
Nuremberg is often referred to as having been the 'unNuremberg was, according to the rst documentary menocial capital' of the Holy Roman Empire, particularly because Imperial Diet (Reichstag) and courts met
at Nuremberg Castle. The Diets of Nuremberg were
an important part of the administrative structure of the
empire. The increasing demand of the royal court and
the increasing importance of the city attracted increased
trade and commerce to Nuremberg. In 1219, Frederick
II granted the Groen Freiheitsbrief (Great Letter of Freedom), including town rights, Imperial immediacy (Reichsfreiheit), the privilege to mint coins, and an independent customs policy, almost wholly removing the city
from the purview of the burgraves.[4][5] Nuremberg soon
became, with Augsburg, one of the two great trade centers on the route from Italy to Northern Europe.
In 1298, the Jews of the town were accused of having
desecrated the host, and 698 of them were killed in one
of the many Rinteisch Massacres. Behind the massacre of 1298 was also the desire to combine the northern and southern parts of the city, which were divided
by the Pegnitz river. The Jews of the German lands suffered many massacres during the plague years. In 1349,
Nurembergs Jews were subjected to a pogrom.[6] They
were burned at the stake or expelled, and a marketplace
was built over the former Jewish quarter.[7]

and rose dramatically in importance due to its location on key trade routes. King Conrad III established

(from the Nuremberg Chronicle).
The largest gains for Nuremberg were in the 14th century; including Charles IV's Golden Bull of 1356, naming Nuremberg as the city where newly elected kings
of Germany must hold their rst Imperial Diet, making
Nuremberg one of the three most important cities of the
Empire.[4] Charles was the patron of the Frauenkirche,
built between 1352 and 1362 (the architect was likely
Peter Parler), where the Imperial court worshipped during its stays in Nuremberg. The royal and Imperial connection was strengthened when Sigismund of Luxembourg granted the Imperial regalia to be kept permanently
in Nuremberg in 1423, where they remained until 1796,
when the advancing French troops required their removal
to Regensburg and thence to Vienna.[4]

HISTORY
Nazi era
Nuremberg held great signicance during the Nazi Germany era. Because of the citys 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 1927, 1929 and annually 1933-1938 in Nuremberg.
After Adolf Hitlers rise to power in 1933 the Nuremberg rallies became huge Nazi propaganda events, a centre of Nazi ideals. The 1934 rally was lmed by Leni
Riefenstahl, and made into a propaganda lm called Triumph des Willens (Triumph of the Will). At the 1935
rally, Hitler specically ordered the Reichstag to convene
at Nuremberg to pass the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws
which revoked German citizenship for all Jews and other
non-Aryans. A number of premises were constructed
solely for these assemblies, some of which were not nished. Today many examples of Nazi architecture can
still be seen in the city. The city was also the home of the
Nazi propagandist Julius Streicher, the publisher of Der
Strmer.
During the Second World War, Nuremberg was the headquarters of Wehrkreis (military district) XIII, and an important site for military production, including aircraft,
submarines and tank engines. A subcamp of Flossenbrg
concentration camp was located here. Extensive use was
made of slave labour.[9] The city was severely damaged in
Allied strategic bombing from 194345. On 29 March
1944, RAF endured its heaviest losses in the bombing
campaign of Germany. Out of more than 700 planes participating, 106 were shot down or crash landed on the way
home to their base, and more than 700 men were missing, as many as 545 of them dead. More than 160 became
prisoners of war.[10] On 2 January 1945, the medieval city
centre was systematically bombed by the Royal Air Force
and the U.S. Army Air Forces and about ninety percent
of it was destroyed in only one hour, with 1,800 residents
killed and roughly 100,000 displaced. In February 1945,
additional attacks followed. In total, about 6,000 Nuremberg residents are estimated to have been killed in air
raids.
Nuremberg was a heavily fortied city that was captured
in a erce battle lasting from 17 to 21 April 1945 by
the US 3rd Infantry Division, 42nd Infantry Division and
45th Infantry Division, which fought house-to-house and
street-by-street against determined German resistance,
causing further urban devastation to the already bombed
and shelled buildings.[11] Despite this intense degree of
destruction, the city was rebuilt after the war and was to
some extent, restored to its pre-war appearance including
the reconstruction of some of its medieval buildings.[12]
However, the biggest part of the historic structural condition of the old Imperial Free City was lost forever.
