The
Schürstabhaus on the
Sebalder Platz is one of the main medieval attractions around the
St. Sebaldus church.
Originally built in the 12th century as two separate buildings, these were soon after connected to form a single structure. The original two buildings can still be noted when counting the floors below the roof on the left (4) and the right side (5) of the building.
In the years 1328–1478 the building was owned by the
Schürstab family, which (much) later led to the name of the building. From the 14th through the early 16th century the
Schürstabs were an important patrician family in Nuremberg.
The building was damaged in 1943 during am allied bombing raid, the roof structure was destroyed. Only 1995–1997 the building was fully reconstructed and only then it got the name
Schürstabhaus.
