About this audio guide
This guide to the Altes Rathaus in Nuremberg follows the great Gothic hall behind its windows, from the council that cleared its walls for Albrecht Dürer's designs in the fifteen-twenties to the decades of argument over what those walls should hold today. You'll meet the painter Michael Mathias Prechtl and the voters of twenty fourteen, and a date on a ballot that sits oddly beside Dürer's own. Best heard on the square, facing the older Gothic wing.
