Germany Travel Photos SN:0dQmIVsSXM Spread the love We are in Nuremberg and here you see the Weinstadel (Former Wine Depot) The building was erected 1446/48 to house lepers who were allowed into the city for three days at Easter, during which time they received food and clothing and medical attention. After ca 1571, the building was used to store wine - hence the name. It later served as workhouse and spinnery and to lodge poor families. In 1950 it was turned into student housing, whereby the internal structural substance was virtually obliterated.
