Statue in Nuremberg, Germany

I finally had the chance to give you some updates. Let's begin with an image of the statue in the Old City of Nuremberg. I was trying to search online what is the particular name of this statue but it seems that I can't find its exact name. If you have to look closer to this statue these words in German were written on it, "Zerstören das Leben der Tod Lacht Hohn". There is something like a shield in front of it but I can't clearly read it also. It's time for me to apply my acne scar cream. I am still using one until now. This dark statue seems to depict death. I understand most of these words but I can't exactly put it into correct sentence. Zerstören means to destroy, Leben means lives, Tod means death, Lacht means laugh and Hohn is something like derision or mockery. Probably it means this way, "destroy the death of live laughs scornfully ". I will give you more information about this statue once I visit Nuremberg next time.

Nuremberg Castle in Bavaria, Germany

Nürnberger Burg or the Nuremberg castle is considered to be one of the main sights in Nuremberg, a city in Bavaria, Germany. This castle comprises three parts: the Emperor's buildings ("Kaiserburg"), the mostly built buildings of the rulers of Nuremberg ("Burggrafenburg"), and the buildings on the eastern side ("städtische Burganlage"). This castle is full of history. We already visited it twice. The last time we visited it was last month, April 2010. Even I see this castle for some time, I still wish to visit it once again in the future.

photo I took during our visit last April 2010.

Kaiserburg, the Imperial Castle in Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany

Let's go travel again! I am bringing you this time to the Imperial Castle in Nuremberg which is called Kaisersburg. I am quite confused now and found out in wikipedia that Imperial castle is only a part of the whole Nuremberg Castle which has three parts. I wish to clarify about this tomorrow. For now, simply enjoy watching the castle because I am slowly signing-off now. It is getting late again. I don't have time to browse for wrinkle cream reviews now which I suppose to do tonight. I just forgot it. Here are the photos HB took during our trip to the castle last weekend. More updates about this castle tomorrow.

Never forget to visit this famous landmark of Nuremberg once you visit this city.

A Metropolis with a High Quality of Life

Nuremberg boasts a unique mixture of tradition and modern times. Both people born here and people who moved here appreciate its extraordinary quality of life. At the same time, Nuremberg is a modern city with 500,000 inhabitants, and the centre of a prospering European metropolitan region with 2.5 million inhabitants. Its almost thousand years of history are still obvious in its cityscape. (nuernberg.de)

City Portrait

Nuremberg is the second-largest Bavarian city, and fourteenth largest municipality in Germany. Particularly after the EU eastern enlargement, the city has profited from its central location within the European economic region. With 500,000 inhabitants, Nuremberg is the economic, services and cultural centre of Northern Bavaria, and the centre of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region with about 3.5 million inhabitants.

The percentage of foreign nationals of over 18 per cent living in this open-minded metropolis, is well above the average for Bavaria and the Federal Republic. Nuremberg citizens from all nationalities live together in an atmosphere characterised by tolerance and calm co-existence. The city supports international relations to 14 sister cities.

Since the 1970s, Nuremberg has transformed itself into a service centre with high growth rates in the fields of innovative services, focusing on engineering and economic consultancy, market research, facility management and E-business.

Nuremberg is one of Europe's fastest growing trade fair locations. Every year, over 1,2 million people visit about 100 events and about 50 specialist trade fairs and congresses, including the world's largest specialist trade fair for toys. (nuernberg.de)

Nuremberg, Germany

One of the shopping streets in Nuremberg ( written in German as Nürnberg) where you can always see a lot of people here everyday.

Watching the Model Train in Nuremberg, Germany

Good evening everyone! I had a very hectic and busy day today. I am also tired but I am happy because I finally finished packing one of my Balikbayan boxes. The most tiring part was the bringing down of all those stuffs from our attic down to the living room. I am still not done. I guess I will be packing three boxes more. I hope I can finish packing this week. Our living room now looks like being hit by a tornado with all those stuffs scattering around for my balikbayan boxes.

Anyway back to my title. Have you seen the photo I got here? I guess so! This is a model train we saw in the train station in Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. If you put a Euro coin in the machine the train here will run. I tried to put 2.00 Euros last time and I had fun watching the train running on the rails. I also grabbed last time a magazine in an electronic company where we visited last June of this year. The magazine had a list of Model Trains which are very interesting. I also watched last time over the television of some people who have the passion of collecting model trains.

As I was browsing the net tonight, I saw a site that offers a software for modelers. It is a model train software where modelers can built and develop buildings, apartments, model trains, miniature objects or any structure of their own design, style and ideas. I know some people who have passion about these stuffs. Evans Designs, a company since 1997 will help you provide quality products regarding model trains and its software. I just found out that they also cater for international customers. If you have a passion for such things, feel free to visit this site. Don't forget to click the photo to enlarge. I hope to give more updates tomorrow!

My Euro Travel to the Imperial Castle of Nuremberg in Bavaria , Germany

I had been to Nürnberg, (also written as Nuernberg or Nuremberg in English) for a lot of times already. Sometimes me and my friends drove here to go to the Asian store. We also try to go here every year for the celebration of Chriskindlesmarkt or Christmas Market Festival. The first time we went to the castle was in December 2007. I was not able to set my camera date, that is why you see the embedded date as 2005. We also went up to the hill on the castle and saw the whole city of Nuremberg. I hope I can see more photos in my files to share next time.

Escape To Nuernberg, Germany

I had an escape to Nuernberg or Nuremberg, Germany yesterday. That is the reason why I was absent in the blogosphere. Perfect timing because there was a rally going on by the CSU for the Europe Parliament Election. They also have a band to entertain people and some musicians also play piano. I was enable to see the Minister President of the state of Bavaria in Germany. His name is Horst Seehofer. Some people are also giving flyers which I think are information about CSU political party. Sad to say, they did not give me a flyer. Maybe they thought I can't vote on Sunday for the Europe Parliament Elections but they are mistaken.....tsk tsk tsk! I am already a German citizen and can vote for any elections in Germany and Europe. I guess I'm not voting them too!! Sad to say that discrimination is really happening all over the world. The important thing is, I had fun with friends yesterday in Nuernberg, Germany! Cheers!

these couple are listening to the CSU rally in Nuernberg..A pose is enough for me!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Castle
Nuremberg Castle is located on a sandstone rock in the north of the historical city of Nuremberg, Germany. It comprises three parts: the Emperor's buildings ("Kaiserburg"), the mostly built buildings of the rulers of Nuremberg ("Burggrafenburg"), and the buildings on the eastern side ("städtische Burganlage"). The castle was damaged in the Second World War but then reconstructed; today it is one of the main landmarks in Nuremberg.

HISTORY

Archeological investigations during recent years indicate that the place was already settled around the year 1000, although this has not been backed up by any documentary proof. Although Nuremberg was first recorded in 1050,

when Henry III visited the town, there is no specific mention of the castle. The castle does not appear in any documents until 1105. Between 1050 and 1571, all Kaisers and kings of the Holy Roman Empire resided in the castle. In 1140, King Conrad III started building a second castle on the site, to be the royal residence.

In the 13th century, Nuremberg became an Imperial Free City, and the castle fell into the care of the city. Of all the parts of the castle built during this time, the Luginsland tower, begun in 1377, literally stands out. In 1381, the good king baron Eppelein von Gailingen famously escaped death on the gallows when his horse leapt into the castle moat.

In the second quarter of the 19th century, measures were taken to preserve the buildings, in particular by Carl Alexander Heideloff, August von Voit and August Essenwein.

In the Second World War, the castle was heavily damaged in 1944-45, with only the double chapel remaining entirely intact. After the war, all the parts of the castle were restored to their historical form, including the Luginsland tower which had been completely destroyed, with the exception of the Nineteenth century additions, which had been partly removed in 1934/35.

Today, the emperor's old mews is used as a youth hostel.
