About this audio guide
This guide to St. Johannis Cemetery in Nuremberg is about the people who worked for a living, and how they made their mark in a graveyard where every slab had to be the same size. It follows a seventeenth-century redsmith who bought his own grave, the city's brass and bronze casters, journeymen carpenters, and a master printer's workshop. Stand among the flat stones and look closely at the metal plaques.
