The NSU murder series refers to nine racially motivated murders of entrepreneurs with a migrant background, eight of them of Turkish origin and one Greek, which were committed by the right-wing extremist terrorist group National Socialist Underground (NSU) in major German cities between 2000 and 2006. The official investigations focused on the victims themselves and their relatives, which led to their victimization and stigmatization, while hardly any investigations were made in the direction of right-wing extremist motivation. In the leading media, the deeds were given the misleading name kebab murders or – after the title of the homicide commission involved – the Bosporus murder series, which was criticized from 2011 onwards as trivializing, clichéd and racist. The eponymous murder weapon, a 7.65 mm Browning caliber Česká CZ 83 pistol, was seized in November 2011 in the rubble of the last NSU apartment in Zwickau.

The Heunensäulen, also known as Heune Columns, are round columns made of sandstone, which were originally intended for the reconstruction of the Willigis Cathedral in Mainz, which burned down in 1009. They were probably completed in the 11th century in a quarry in the Bullau Mountains near Miltenberg out of anticipatory business acumen, even before the order was placed. However, the client probably opted for other supports, so that the round columns were never needed. It is said that there were once 42 of the columns, in the 18th century 14 were still known, around 1960 only eight were known.

St. Clare is a Roman Catholic church in the Old Town of Nuremberg, Germany. The building is located in the Altstadt, St. Lorenz district on Königstraße between St. Lawrence's Church and Frauentor. Begun in 1270, the building is one of the oldest surviving religious buildings in the city and initially served as the church of the Poor Clares convent. In the course of the Reformation, the monastery was dissolved and the church was used as a Protestant preaching church from 1574. After Nuremberg fell to Bavaria in 1806, the building was profaned. Since 1854 it has been a Catholic church again. During the Second World War, the church was badly damaged in a bombing raid, and in the post-war period it was rebuilt in its former form. In 1979, the rectorate of the church passed to the Jesuits. Since 1996, St. Clare has been an open church with a wide range of spiritual and cultural offerings.
