Toplerhaus: View of main street facade
Date
Circa 1910
Location
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries
Nuremberg's many fine merchants' houses were very solid, very comfortable and very conservative in style. The Toplerhaus was built by Wolf Topler in 1590 and expanded in 1597. It served as the German National Museum starting in 1853 and was destroyed during WWII. Because of a decision to expand the Straßenverbreiterung, it was not rebuilt.
