1. Johann Philipp Palm Marker
Der 1766 in Schorndorf geborene Buchhändler und Verleger Johann Philipp Palm heiratete 1796 in Nürnberg Anna Katharina Barbara Stein. Sein Schwiegervater betrieb hier eine Buchhandlung, die Palm später übernahm.
Im März 1806 wurde Nürnberg zum dritten Mal von französischen Truppen besetzt. Über Palms Buchhandlung war im Juni unter dem Titel „Deutschland in seiner tiefen Erniedrigung" eine anonym veröffentlichte Schrift in Umlauf gebracht worden. Nachdem Napoleon von der Broschüre Kenntnis erlangt hatte, verlangte er vom Nürnberger Rat, Palm festzunehmen und alle Drucke zu verbrennen, anderweitig werde die Stadt bestraft. Palm wurde verhaftet, nach Braunau am Inn gebracht und dort noch im August vor ein französisches Kriegsgericht gestellt. Obwohl ihm außer dem Vertrieb der Flugschrift nichts nachzuweisen war, verurteilte man ihn zum Tod. Am 26. August wurde Johann Philipp Palm hingerichtet.
Bereits viele seiner Zeitgenossen verurteilten die Erschießung Palms entschieden. Er wurde in der Folge aber auch immer wieder instrumentalisiert, womit man ihm sicher nicht gerecht wird.

Die vermutlich aus dem Jahr 1938 stammende Fotografie zeigt das Wohn- und Geschäftshaus Palms in der Winklerstraße 29/Ecke Schustergasse 1 vor der Zerstörung. Neben dem Chörlein ist die 1842 für Palm angebrachte Gedenktafel zu sehen. An der Hausecke steht eine am 26. August 1938 enthüllte Figur Palms. Die Nationalsozialisten versuchten hier die Person Palms als nationalen Volksheld zu vereinnahmen. (Foto: Max Hermann, Stadtarchiv Nürnberg A 49/1 Nr. He-4172 a)
The bookseller and publisher Johann Philipp Palm, born in Schorndorf in 1766, married Anna Katharina Barbara Stein in Nuremberg in 1796. His father-in-law ran a bookstore here, which Palm later took over.
In March 1806, Nuremberg was occupied by French troops for the third time. In June, an anonymously published pamphlet entitled "Germany in its deep humiliation" was circulated through Palm's bookshop. After Napoleon learned of the pamphlet, he demanded that the Nuremberg Council arrest Palm and burn all the printed matter, otherwise the city would be punished. Palm was arrested, taken to Braunau am Inn and brought

Many of his contemporaries had already strongly condemned Palm's shooting. However, he was also repeatedly instrumentalized as a result, which certainly does not do him justice.
In memory of Johann Philipp Palm, who was executed at the age of 39 in an act of arbitrary justice, the city of Nuremberg unveiled memorial plaques on this house in 1967 and 2019.

The photograph, which probably dates from 1938, shows Palm's residential and commercial building at Winklerstrasse 29/corner of Schustergasse 1 before it was destroyed. Next to the little choir, you can see the memorial plaque that was put up for Palm in 1842. At the corner of the building is a figure of Palm that was unveiled on August 26, 1938. The National Socialists tried to use Palm as a national folk hero. (Photo: Max Hermann, Nuremberg City Archives A 49/1 No. He-4172 a)
