Der Hof des Pellerhauses war vor seiner Zerstörung eine der Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten Nürnbergs. Seine Architektur war wohl die bedeutendste Leistung hiesiger Baukunst. Er galt als vielleicht der schönste deutsche Arkadenhof.
Als die Stadt 1945 in Trümmern sank, blieben auch vom Pellerhaus nur noch Reste übrig. Das Vorderhaus wurde bis 1957 in moderner Form wieder aufgebaut. Bei der Ergänzung des Hofes wurde Enormes geleistet, der Wiederaufbau allerdings 1959 unvollendet eingestellt. Heute, 400 Jahre nach der Fertigstellung und gut 60 Jahre nach seiner Zerstörung, wird der Wiederaufbau des Pellerhofes fortgeführt und seine Architektur in alter Schönheit wieder hergestellt.
Der Pellerhof als das mitteleuropäische Gegenstück zu den großartigen Arkadenhöfen Italiens ist ein unverzichtbarer Teil europäischer Baukunst.
Sein Wiederaufbau wird ausschließlich durch Spenden finanziert. Wenn auch Sie dazu beitragen wollen, dass eine der größten Leistungen deutscher Renaissancekunst in ihrem ursprünglichen Erscheinungsbild wieder erlebbar wird, dann unterstützen Sie das Vorhaben mit Ihrer Spende.

Before its destruction, the courtyard of the Pellerhaus was one of Nuremberg's main attractions. Its architecture was probably the most significant achievement of local architecture. It was considered perhaps the most beautiful German arcade courtyard.
When the city was reduced to rubble in 1945, only remnants of the Pellerhaus remained. The front building was rebuilt in a modern form by 1957. Enormous work was done to add to

The 20 houses we have saved and renovated stand out among the measures that have shaped the cityscape. These include three late medieval craftsmen's houses in which we operate the Kühnertsgasse Museum and the Zirkelschmiedsgasse cultural barn. We have created another attractive event venue by rebuilding the Renaissance courtyard in the Pellerhaus. The renovation of the Pilatushaus, which is in danger of collapsing, will crown our work for historic Nuremberg.(Submitted on November 8, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
