            The Weinstadel is a medieval and imperial city building in Nuremberg . It is one of the most famous architectural monuments in the northern part of Nuremberg and is a station of the historic mile Nuremberg . The name Weinstadel derives from his capacity as a former rich urban wine warehouse, which had been set up about 1,571 on the ground floor of the main building [1] .

Location 
The Weinstadel is located in the Sebalder Altstadt on Maxplatz , north of the Pegnitz on the Maxbrücke , opposite the flea market island .

History 
The wine cemetery was built from 1446 to 1448 outside the penultimate city fortifications and served during the Holy Week for three days for the accommodation and feeding of lepers (Sonderschlieze). The building dates back to 1394 donated special- alms . Since it was used only in the Holy Week, found here in times of war (for example, during the Margrave wars) nuns from Pillenreuth refuge.

When the special feed was moved to St. Johannis in 1575, the building could be used more intensively: artisans, poor families, a women's spinner house and a hospital were housed here over time. The ground floor was used from about 1571 as a rich wine store, from which also derives today's name. The hospital was moved in 1627 to the newly acquired "Schauhaus" [2] .

During the air raid on October 3, 1944 , the building received heavy explosive bombs [3] .

In 1950, the Weinstadel, together with the water tower connected to it, was converted into a student residence of the Studentenwerk Nürnberg with a total of 74 places.

The building 
With a length of 48 meters, the Weinstadel is the largest half-timbered building in Germany. Above from sandstone are two half-timbered upper floors brick ground floor. Then the saddle roof consisting of three storeys was set. On the front side to the Pegnitz, the building is equipped with wooden galleries, which are provided with metal gargoyles.

On the east side there is a striking dormer from 1448 with appendages . It has a pointed arch window and is also equipped with a saddle roof. He is the oldest Dormer Nuremberg [4] . On the first floor of the east side of the house is structurally connected in the form of a bridge-like building in half-timbered and saddle roof with an old city wall tower (the water tower ), which in turn is built on a bridge over the Pegnitz with the flea market island .

While the attic largely corresponds to the state of the construction period, the interior of the Weinstadels has been designed in a modern way [4]
