This is an iteresting example of postwar reconstruction.
A lot of what you are looking at in these pix lay in ruins after WWII.
If you look close you can tell much of this is "new", with selective period reconstruction copying the old buildings or in some cases details from the orginal buildings.
The new buildings mimic the form of the what was destroyed...so you get the atmosphere and feel of a medieval city even if much of the built "fabric" is not an archeological or carbon-copy reconstruction.
Certain buildings & structures of artistic or architectural signifigance where totally restored and reconstructed, of course.
Man all these pics of Nurnberg or Nuremburg reminds me whne i use to live there from 90-94. Great city and lots to do and of course not more than 2hrs from Munchen or Munich as most people know it.

These were great pics, but... I was sorry to see mostly older people walking the streets. Where are all the young German kids partying and living it up? Is Europe's demographic crisis a reality
It's pretty cool to see how Germany looks quite a bit different than the US. I'd defintely like to visit sometime. It's also interesting to see the influence of the US with the 2 Pac shirt in the record store and the McDonald's, so I would probably not feel too far from home if I visited
Hahaha! I went in this store when I was in Nuremberg, and it was the weirdest damn thing - the owner was just staring me down like I had two heads or something!
