Nuremberg Gate, Forchheim

Highlight • Monument

The Nuremberg Gate (from 1698) is the only one of the four former gates that has survived. The representative magnificent portal is based on the main gate (1662) of the Rosenberg Fortress in Kronach. Two smaller side passages flank the passage above which two lions hold the coat of arms of Bishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn.
This imposing design was definitely a demonstration of power against the Lutheran areas of the margraviate and the imperial city of Nuremberg, which begin immediately to the south.
The curtains (walls) adjoining the sides have disappeared, as has the ravelin with the front gate, which was in front and protected direct access to the main gate.

Forchheim Fish Boxes on the Wiesent

Highlight • Monument

Here, fish are kept after they are caught until they are sold or consumed. This means that even in winter you can have fresh fish that doesn't taste muddy.

Kammerer's Mill (Leaning House), Forchheim

Highlight • Historical Site

The Kammerersmühle in Wiesentstrasse is not only an eye-catcher because of its pretty half-timbered structure. The building, built in 1698, has sunk on one side towards the Wiesent over the years and was therefore christened "Leaning House" by the Forchheimers. In 1910, the mill was taken out of service and now houses a restaurant where visitors can enjoy the stylish rooms.

Forchheim Town Hall and Town Hall Square

Highlight • Monument

The cantilevers that can be found in many old houses, incidentally, stem from the fact that, in earlier times, taxes were often calculated based on the floor space of a house, and in this way it was possible to gain space on the upper floors that had no financial impact.

Old Guardhouse, Forchheim

Highlight • Historical Site

The “Alte Wache” used to be home to the police guards. The building, built at the end of the 18th century, offers a good view over the parade ground, which used to be completely surrounded by trees.

Did a little tour of Forchheim today, unfortunately the city is currently a single construction site.
City Hall is scaffolded and the Paradeplatz is completely closed. 😭
