The Schürstabhaus in Nuremberg is a patrician residence in the old town. It is an architectural unification of two older buildings.

History+

The origins of the Schürstabhaus date back to the 12th century, when two separate buildings were erected on this site. Until 1328, these were owned by ministeriales, before belonging to the Schürstab family from 1328 to 1478, who carried out initial renovations in 1390 and 1406. Between 1482 and 1483, the two houses were merged under Carl Schwerzer, and a house chapel was integrated. Later, ownership changed hands, including Anton Tetzel (1508–1518) and the Fetzer family (1645–1791). After damage in World War II, particularly the destruction of the roof truss in 1943, a restoration took place from 1995 to 1997, during which the building received its current name.

Location+

The residence is located in Nuremberg, within the city area of Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. It stands at an elevation of approx. 321 m above sea level, north of Sebalder Platz and east of Albrecht-Dürer-Platz, opposite St. Sebald Church.
