Church of Our Lady, Nuremberg
About
Emperor Charles IV sits beneath the clock on Nuremberg’s Church of Our Lady, or *Frauenkirche*. Every day at noon, the clock sets a little procession in motion.

The church dates to the 1300s and stands on Main Market Square, a space Charles IV initiated. The ground was once Nuremberg’s Jewish quarter, which citizens burned down in 1349 with his permission.

VoiceMap’s tours explain that noon procession. It goes back to the Golden Bull of 1356, which ruled that every new emperor must hold his first imperial meeting in Nuremberg. The tours also tell what became of the Jewish community that lived on this ground first.
