Photo and description

In the center of the Old Town, on the banks of the Pegnitz River, there is an ancient hospital of the Holy Spirit, built in 1332. It is one of the largest surviving hospitals in Germany. The inner courtyard of the hospital is decorated with a wooden gallery. A separate building was built for the lepers, who were kept separate from the rest of the sick.

In one of the buildings of the hospital of the Holy Spirit from 1424 to 1796 the symbols of the Holy Roman Empire were kept. The hospital now houses a nursing home and a small restaurant.
