About this audio guide
This guide to the Wöhrder Wiese in Nuremberg starts on Midsummer's Day in thirteen ninety, when the merchant and councillor Ulman Stromer set water wheels turning on this stretch of the Pegnitz. It follows the money behind rags and parchment, and the Italian craftsmen Stromer brought north because only they knew how the work was done. Stand near the memorial in the middle of the meadow, within earshot of the river.
