Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A much-photographed area and not without reason, because it is beautiful! Beautiful, colorful houses almost float in the river. The bridge takes you from one side of the river to the other and you definitely feel like you are in another era

In interesting heritage building in Nuremburg is that of Wienstadel located on the northern bank of the Pegnitz at Maxplatz. This is one of the city's most famous architectural buildings.
What you see here is the largest half-timbered house in Germany, originally constructed between 1446-48. At that time, this location was outside the city walls. It was used then a hospice and place to feed lepers in the Middle Ages. In later became an imperial city wine storage location, giving the building its present name - Weinstadel (Wine Storage).
Heavily damaged during WWII bombing raids, it was reconstructed in the 1950s providing the version of Weinstadel that you can see today. Good views can be found from Maxbrücke as well as the small street that runs just to the west of this important heritage building.

This is hardly a highlight of Nürnberg, but it is a very nice walk if you have the time. Bring a camera. The name derives from the distant past when this was a vine growing area of town. Since then Nürnberg has become better known for its beer.

We stayed near the Weinstadel, and were captivated by the beautiful buildings, reflected in the water. Position yourself on the Max Bridge for wonderful photos. All in a fairly quiet setting. The covered footbridge is nearby, another nice spot for photos. Nürnberg is a beautiful city.

I enjoyed returning to Nuremberg and once again walking through this part of town. The buildings ate beautiful and their relation ship with the waterways is fascinating and intriguing, having been so well restored after massive wartime bombing of the city.

We were walking in the Old Town and we saw this beautiful place on the bank of Pegnitz river. It’s a scenic photo point with the Alter Wasserturm, and the old timber frame house, Weinstadel. We returned in a few days again.

As we were walking around the Old Town, this spot by the bridge is just enchanting and photographs beautifully. The buildings and bridge are frozen in the medieval times.

Nuremberg is a beautiful city but this area by the river is particularly pretty. Walk to the Weinstadel and take pictures up and down the river from the road bridge and the old wooden footbridge which leads to Henkerhaus.

It would be nice if there was an explanation of what Weinstadel is. I have not been to Nuremberg, yet, and all of the reviews are in other languages so without going to another site, I do not know what kind of sight/landmark this is. Why does this place draw tourists?
Written 15 February 2015
The Weinstadel is a former 'wine depot'. The original half-timbered building was built in the mid-1400's, was badly damaged in WWII, and reconstructed after the war. It was turned into a student dormitory in the 1950's so no public access; its draw is its picturesque setting. Along with the adjacent Wasserturm ('water tower') and nearby Henkerturm/Henkersteg (hangman's tower/hangman's bridge), it's one of the most photographed spots in Nuremberg's old town. To get that view, stand on the Maxbrücke. The Henkerturm has a little museum about the medieval hangman; it isn't open every day so check in advance if you're interested.
