Old Town Hall -
The Old Town Hall was built when Regensburg was elevated to the status of a Free Imperial City in 1245. The oldest part is the 55 meter high tower. Around 1320/1330, the Reichssaal building was erected with the Reich Hall, which was originally intended as a dance hall. The building had its heyday from 1663, when the Perpetual Diet met exclusively in Regensburg in the Old City Hall for almost 150 years.

Nuremberg's oldest city parish church was built around 1215 as a three-aisled Late Romanesque pillared basilica with two choirs. As early as 1309 the original side aisles were widened and altered in the Gothic style.
St Sebald is one of the patron saints of Nuremberg and the church dedicated to him in the Sebald area of the centre of the city houses his tomb. Construction started on the Church of St Sebald, which was a place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages, in the 13th century (although the original church was dedicated to St Peter). Along with the Lorenzkirche, the church is one of the major Protestant churches in Franconia. It was badly damaged in the Second World War and reconstruction finished in the early 1950s.
