City of Contrasts

by zrim - last update: Apr 15, 2003

Nürnberg is a lovely old city which can take the visitor back to the romantic eras of the middle ages. Nürnberg is also a horrific reminder of the evils of 1930s and 40s Nazi Germany. I much preferred visiting the old town and letting the charm of Nürnberg do its magic on me. Yet, the old remnants of Hitler's grandiosity must also be seen, though to do so will mean a sorrowful heart.

 We came upon this by accident, and I was interested to feel the vibe. I was surprised, I thought it would have been torn down. There's not much to do except climb up to Hitler's platform, but it's a place that really makes you think.

 Rhanks for showing us lovely medieval old town with impressive church and interesting fortifications.

 How can you down-play Lebkucken, I LOVE, LOVE LOVE THEM. Oh, well, I forgive you.

 In August 2006, at Zeppelin Field, I stood where Hitler stood to deliver speeches. I gloried in the fact that I am alive and free and Hitler isn't.
