View from the Sinwell Tower of the Kaiserburg in Nuremberg of the Old Town district around St. Sebald before and after the destruction of World War II. The view extends from north to south across the Old Town, over the Pegnitz River, toward St. Lorenz. Visible are St. Sebald’s Church (on the right), the City Hall, and, in the background, St. Lorenz Church. The Sebaldus Quarter, visible in the foreground and center of the image, was almost completely destroyed during the devastating air raid on January 2, 1945. Further damage occurred during the Battle of Nuremberg in April 1945, including the collapse of the spires of St. Sebald’s Church following artillery fire.
