1. Kaiserburg Nürnberg / Imperial Castle Nuremberg Marker
Die Kaiserburg Nürnberg ist eine der bedeutendsten Kaiserpfalzen des Mittelalters. Zwischen 1050 und 1571 hielten hier alle deutschen Kaiser und Könige des Heiligen Römischen Reichs ihre Hof-, Reichs- und Gerichtstage ab.
Bereits im 11. Jahrhundert entstand eine salische Königsburg auf dem Burgfelsen. Im 12. und 13. Jahr hundert erbauten Kaiser Friedrich I. Barbarossa (1123-1190) und seine Nachfolger auf dem westlichen Burgfelsen eine der größten und prachtvollsten Burganlagen des Reiches. Aus dieser Zeit stammt noch die romanische Doppelkapelle, während der Palas und weitere Bauten ab 1440 im spätgotischen Stil umgebaut und erneuert wurden. Der Neubau der mächtigen Bastionen folgte ein Jahrhundert später.
Die Kaiserburg wurde nur während der Kaiserbesuche bewohnt. Der ständige Verwalter des Kaisers lebte in der Burggrafenburg auf dem östlichen Burgfelsen.
