About this audio guide
This guide to the Mautkeller in Nuremberg starts at a carved doorway from around fifteen hundred and follows one patch of ground beneath an old city wall. You'll meet the city architect Hans Beheim, the twelve storehouses that kept Nuremberg fed in hard times, and the customs officers who later weighed goods from around the world under this roof. Best heard by the east portal before you head down into the vaulted cellar.
