This top pic is of the oldest, still inhabited Fachwerk house in Nürnberg, from 1338. What do you think the workmen who originally built this house, who fitted the timbers and slapped on the plaster would have thought if they had been informed that their handywork would still be standing and inhabited 672 years later? They would have been astonished. The middle pic is the house of favorite son Albrecht Dürer. At the bottom is another of the Fachwerk jewels of which one finds many in the Altstadt.
