Seit 1910 schmückt ein zweigeteiltes Wandgemälde von Georg Kellner die Fassade der Industrie- und Handelskammer. Der Kaufmannszug aus dem 16. Jahrhundert verweist auf die Stellung Nürnbergs als mittelalterliche Handelsstadt, von der aus Waren in die Welt geliefert wurden. An der Seite Waaggasse ist das Motiv des „Ehrbaren Kaufmanns" dargestellt.
Nuremberg Merchants' Caravan
Since 1910, a two-part mural by Georg Kellner adorns the façade of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The merchants' caravan from the 16th century refers to Nuremberg's position as a medieval trading city from which goods were delivered to the world. On the "Waaggasse" side, the motif of the "honourable merchant" is depicted.
