That`s how most of the tourist see Germany`s first social foundation from the 14th century - the "Heilig Geist Spital" (Hospital of the Holy Ghost).This is the part in which you find a typical Franconian restaurant with view to the river.

It is a huge complex, hosting nowerdays appartments for elder people, an activity center and the "Computer Club 50 plus", offices and...many secrets. Look out of this office window: Preparations for the Christmas Market , early in the morning. Soon it will be crowded...
|
Here it is always silent. An oasis in the busy citylife - one of the Medieval courtyards.
|
The tumbstones ("Tischgräber" - "Table-gravestones") of the founders, Konrad Groß and Herdegen Valzner. They could be saved in 1945 , when 3/4 of the town had been demolished by bombings
|
The "Crucification Courtyard", named after the sculptures of Adam Kraft. They are renovating the tower on the right side...there is always something to renovate in these buildings...
