Warm ochre stonework glows in afternoon light as pedestrians in Wilhelmine-era dress mill about the entrance to Nuremberg's legendary Bratwurstglöcklein—the ancient "Sausage Bell Inn"—pressed against the Gothic arch of a medieval chapel in the heart of the old city. This richly chromolithographed artist-signed card, published by Sollmann of Coburg and Munich, renders the famous tavern with almost painterly warmth: climbing vines, ornate scrollwork on the inn sign, dormer windows peering from a steeply pitched roof, and the striking contrast between the secular timber structure and the soaring ecclesiastical stonework beside it. The Bratwurstglöcklein, which traces its culinary roots to the 15th century, survived both World Wars (though the surrounding city was devastated) and remains one of Germany's most storied restaurants. Postcards of this subject were enormously popular with German tourists in the decade before the First World War, capturing a city still proud of its imperial medieval heritage.
