    Beautiful view over the Pegnitz to the Henkersteg. The Henkersteg is a covered wooden bridge over the Pegnitz. It connects the Henkerturm with the Trödelmarkt and the St. Lorenz district. It owes its name to the executioner of Nuremberg, who lived in the neighboring tower from the 16th to the 19th century. In the Middle Ages, he used the footbridge to enter the city inconspicuously. Today's footbridge was rebuilt in 1954 after heavy war damage and is now a popular photo motif and part of Nuremberg's Historic Mile.

    In 1728, the dilapidated ABC bridge was replaced by the sandstone arch bridge that still exists today. In honor of the then Emperor Charles VI or his wife Elisabeth, the structure was originally named Kaiserbrücke or Elisabethbrücke.

    Two obelisks are erected in the middle of the bridge. The eastern one is crowned by a war or imperial eagle with outstretched wings, the western one by a dove of peace with folded wings and an olive branch in its beak.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlsbr%C3%BCcke_(N%C3%BCrnberg)
