The Erfahrungsfeld zur Entfaltung der Sinne is an interactive exhibition that stimulates all the senses, designed by Hugo Kükelhaus. The different exhibits are intended to inspire the visitor to experiment with them, to explore them, like in a park of the senses or a science center. Kükelhaus constructed 32 pieces of playground equipment for schools in the city of Dortmund and demonstrated some of these equipment at the Expo 67 world exhibition in Montreal. His holistic concept for a large open-air exhibition was shown in the exhibition Phenomena, shown in Rotterdam, South Africa, and Bietigheim, among others.

St. Klara 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 Lorenzkirche and Frauentor. The construction, which began in 1270, is one of the oldest surviving sacred buildings in the city and initially served as a place of worship for the Poor Clares monastery. 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 severely damaged in a bombing raid, and in the post-war period it was rebuilt in its previous form. In 1979, the church rectorate was transferred to the Jesuits. Since 1996, St. Klara has been an open church with a wide range of spiritual and cultural offerings.

Sight 10: Heunensäule

Show sight on map

The Heunen columns, also known as the 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 out of anticipatory business acumen in a quarry in the Bullau Mountains near Miltenberg even before the order was placed. However, the client probably opted for other supports, so that the round columns were never needed. There are said to have been 42 of the columns at one time, in the 18th century there were still 14, around 1960 only eight are known.
