The Bratwurstglöcklein in the Handwerkerhof in Nuremberg

Historical ambience in the Handwerkerhof

Behind the mighty sandstone walls of the historic "Waffenhof", you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a medieval town. Restored half-timbered houses, narrow alleyways and workshops characterise the picture. Craftsmen such as pewterers, goldsmiths and doll makers have been demonstrating their art here since 1971. Visitors can look over their shoulders and purchase high-quality products directly on site.

Culinary highlights in the Bratwurstglöcklein

At the heart of the Handwerkerhof is the Bratwurstglöcklein. The Nuremberg grilled sausages, made according to a recipe that has been handed down since 1313, are freshly prepared here on the wood-fired grill. "Six with cabbage, please!". They are served on traditional pewter plates, accompanied by sauerkraut, potato salad or farmhouse bread. The selection of Franconian beers and wines complements the dishes and emphasises the regional character.
