The house with its impressive half-timbered facades was built in 1489 by the harness maker Hans Grünewald. Around 1507, the well-known sculptor Veit Wirsberger bought it and became a neighbor of Albrecht Dürer.
The gable bay window, which can be seen from afar, was built in 1597. The Pilatushaus was badly damaged by an aerial mine during World War II, but was rebuilt in its old form before the end of the war. It is now leased to the Old Town Friends of Nuremberg.

St. George was the patron saint of knights and armorers (armor makers). He was therefore also the patron saint of the house owner and armorer Hans Grünewald.
