About this audio guide
This guide to the Handwerkerhof in Nuremberg starts in nineteen seventy-one, the year the city celebrated Albrecht Dürer's five hundredth birthday with a cluster of half-timbered houses tucked inside its old walls. It follows Carola Jungnick, who took the lease on the courtyard's wine tavern that jubilee year, and the family that came after her. Best heard at the gate, with the round Frauentor tower above you.
