About this audio guide
This guide to Tiergärtnertorplatz in Nuremberg follows Hans Grünwald, a fifteenth-century plate armourer whose customers reached as high as Emperor Maximilian the First, and the city craft rules he kept colliding with. It touches on forge fires inside town houses, a family of armourers, and how the half-timbered corner house got the name Pilatushaus. Stand facing that house below the castle, where the sandstone meets the timber.
