They were part of a green belt along the city wall, which included 360 gardens used differently and formed the prerequisite for the development of a high -standing garden culture at the gates of the imperial city of Nuremberg. The creation of citrus plants was converted. The green areas were created by patrician families and merchants in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries after the fruit, vegetable and herb gardens in the old town were gradually built on. The magnificent lust gardens separated the newly created suburbs from the old town. The city wall formed the physical border. In St. Johannis, wealthy citizens have lived since the early modern period who got a touch of Mediterranean culture into the home garden. The Nuremberg patricians and merchants oriented themselves to the model of the nobility in the garden design. Small ornamental gardens were built in the Renaissance and baroque style and equipped with a variety of wells and figures made of sandstone. In the elaborately designed gardens, there were valuable and exotic limon and pomerance collections.
