1. Kaiserburg und Burggrafenburg / Imperial Castle and Burgrave's Castle Marker
Dieses Tor trennt die äußere Burggrafenburg von der eigentlichen Kaiserburg. In der Burggrafenburg lebten die Verwalter der Kaisers, die Burggrafen von Nürnberg.
Die Kaiserburg wurde nur während der Kaiserbesuche bewohnt. Sie erstreckt sich auf einer Länge von etwa 52 Metern über den Außeren und Inneren Burghof. Im Außeren Burghof waren die kaiserlichen Verwaltungsgebäude und Staliungen untergebracht. Im Inneren Burghof befanden sich mit Kemenate und Palas die Wohn- und Repräsentationsgebäude des Kaisers. Die Kaiserburg war Schauplatz von zahllosen Hof-, Reichs- und Gerichtstagen - den offiziellen Zusammenkünften des Kaisers mit Repräsentanten des Heiligen Römischen Reichs.
