About this audio guide
This guide to St. Jakob in Nuremberg looks up into the church's tower and at a family of craftsmen whose surname was their trade. It follows the Glockengiesser bell founders across the fourteen hundreds and fifteen hundreds, from cannons cast for an emperor to bells hung in Franconian villages, and the faith that divided a father from his son. Along the way you'll hear how the church itself sat between Lutheran preachers and the Catholic Teutonic Order. Best heard standing in Jakobsplatz, facing the tower.
