The Imperial City of Nuremberg

On our way to Munich we will be stopping in Nuremberg. Nuremberg is a city in the German state of Bavaria, and is Bavaria's second largest city after Munich. It is located about 170 Km north of Munich.
Nuremberg held great significance during the Nazi Germany era. Because of the city's position in the centre of Germany, the Nazi Party chose the city to be the site of huge Nazi Party conventions — the Nuremberg rallies. After Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933 the Nuremberg rallies became huge Nazi propaganda events. At the 1935 rally, Hitler specifically ordered the Reichstag to convene at Nuremberg to pass the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws, which revoked German citizenship for all Jews.
During World War II, Nuremberg was the headquarters of Wehrkreis (military district) XIII. It was also the site of military production, including aircraft, submarines, and tank engines. Heavy bombing took place in Nuremberg near the end of World War II.
Between 1945 and 1946, German officials involved in the Holocaust and other war crimes were brought before an international tribunal in the Nuremberg Trials.
A walking tour of the old town of Nuremberg may include stops at the Castle and city walls and churches dating back to the 13th century. Shops along the way will be selling gingerbread, a popular souvenir for tourists.
