About this audio guide
This guide to the Pilatushaus in Nuremberg follows Hans Grünewald, a fifteenth-century maker of plate armour whose clients reached as high as Maximilian the First, and the house he raised with a forge inside by the Tiergärtner Gate. It touches his running quarrels with the guild, the armoured Saint George on the corner, and the sculptor and art society who came after him. Best heard standing where you can see the corner figure overhead.
