Peller House
The front building was erected from 1602 to 1605, the arcade court yard from 1605 to1607. Formerly the most magnificent town house in the City or in the whole of Old Germany respectively. It translates the architectural language into the forms of the German Renaissance. This is the same job which almost a hundred years earlier the Welserhof (Welser Court) had done concerning architectural language of the Late Gothic period. A vaulted entrance hall and an arcade court yard were created. The struggle between Gothic and Renaissance period is quite noticeable here. An absolute novelty was clearly the front. The stairwell which has been preserved in its original form dates back typologically to Welserhof and other buildings like the (former) building Laufer Platz 17. Even Bayerischer Hof (Bavarian Court) and Hertelshof (Hertels Court) had the same type of stairwell. Peller House was certainly not the most important building of Nuremberg to be remembered– these were are and will be, of course, the main churches, however, concerning the architectural history it is outstanding, as well as the storage buildings and the Beautiful fountain, whose importance was emphasized by prominent Italia visitors (cardinal Luigi d´Aragone) around 1520 as outstanding for the time.
