particular interest. Named after Saint Sebaldus, an 8th century hermit, Sebaldus is also the patron saint of Nuremberg. The Church can be found on Albrecht-Dürer-Platz, opposite the old City Hall and its stark architecture.
defending against pagans Sebaldus was also a missionary working to convert the then pagans of Nuremberg. Another 13th century church is the Lorenzkirche or Saint Lawrence Church. Its constructiuon began in about 1250 and it was originally a three-aisled basilica in the high Gothic style. The church was later extended. A century after construction began on Saint Lawrence, the Frauenkirche church was built in the 14th century. With its brick Gothic architecture, it was establihed during the lifetime of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV and contains a clock that was added later in the fi fteen-hundreds. The clock fi gure of Charles IV emerges when the clock strikes noon and seven miniature elector fi gures bow before the Emperor. Called the Männleinlaufen clock pageant, it has taken place every day at noon since 1509, a stalwart of the city. Another notable church is the James'
Church. Originally an early Franconian King's church, it was given to the very famous Knights of the Teutonic Order. Another church linked with the Knights of the Teutonic Order is Saint Elisabeth's Church. Originally, the church was part of a former secondary house of the Teutonic Order.

King David, the birth of Jesus Christ, and human history since then. It also includes illustrated mythological creatures, and the histories of important Christian and secular cities from antiquity. That sprawling city is connected by bridges, many bridges, eight to be more precise. Those bridges consist of, Vestnertorbruecke, Maxbruecke, Museumsbruecke, Karlsbruecke, Spitalbruecke, Fleischbrucke, Kettensteg. There was also, Henkersteg, the hangman's bridge. An earlier Henkersteg was destroyed by the fl ood of 1595 and rebuilt. It was called the hangman’s bridge as the city’s executioner would walk over it from his house to his place of work. In the Middle Ages, the executioner was not allowed to have contact with honourable citizens and lived apart from them over the bridge where he lived between executions. While the Maxbruecke is the oldest stone bridge built within the city of Nuremberg, the site of the oldest bridge over the Pegnitz river is the Museumsbruecke bridge. A wooden bridge is documented to
