I'm a sucker for wooden bridges like this one I saw in Nuremberg. And this one has an interesting history. People also call it the “Hangman's Bridge” or the “Henkerbrücke ” in German. It was built in 1595 after a flood did a lot of damage to Nuremberg.

I passed by this tower every time I left my hotel in Nuremberg. It is the Spittlertorturm, one of the four circular main towers of the Nuremberg city fortifications. But the Spittlertor is the southwest of the Nuremberger City wall.
Early records strongly suggest that the gate tower was part of the last city wall. Its name comes from the nearby hospital St. Elisabeth of the Teutonic Order.
