On 2 January 1945, the medieval city centre of Nuremberg was systematically bombed by the Royal Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Forces and about ninety percent of it was destroyed in only one hour, with 1,800 residents killed and roughly 100,000 displaced.

Heilig-Geist-Spital, Nuremberg (No. 1)

The Heilig-Geist-Spital (English: Holy Spirit Hospital) in Nuremberg was the largest hospital in the former Free Imperial City of Nuremberg. It was used as a hospital and nursing home.

Its chapel was also the depository of the Imperial Regalia, the crown jewels of the Holy Roman Empire, between 1424 and 1796. The regalia, among them the Holy Lance, were shown to believers once a year in a so-called Heiltums-weisung (worship show) on the fourteenth day after Good Friday. For coronations they were brought to Frankfurt Cathedral.

The hospital was partly built over the Pegnitz river. It now serves as a restaurant and senior home.

The Heilig-Geist-Spital was built in 1339 by Konrad Gross to care for ill, elderly and poor people.
