Ornate Doorway in Nuremberg

This very interesting doorway is located on the chamber of commerce building on the corner of Hauptmarkt and Waaggasse. I've tried in vain to find some information about the carvings. In addition to the door, the building has several other distinctive architectural features, including a statue and trade murals.

I've added a texture from ruby blossom to the door image.

Nuremburg Market Square

Nuremburg has a number of interesting fountains, but perhaps the most well known is the Schoner Brunnen, or Beautiful Fountain. The fountain was built in the late 14th century and was replaced by a copy in 1912 when the original was transferred to a museum. It features a metal ring that, when rotated, acts as a good luck charm.
