Church of St. Lavrentia is known that this was one of the first churches in Germany, replacing the Catholic rite to Lutheran. The modern type of church was devoted shortly before the change of rite, and in the twentieth century unique drawings were found, dating from the XII century, according to which the original building of the church was built.
All the rich initial decoration of the church could not be preserved – it was sold during desolation, when the city was required, but what was left, the inhabitants of Nuremberg were reliably hidden when the allied troops entered Germany.
After significant destruction that the Church took upon itself during the Second World War, its restoration took place on the model of the 15th century. True, many rafters supporting the arches of the towers were irrevocably lost. But they were successfully replaced by more modern materials. It was possible to completely restore the stained glass window, which has a diameter of more than 9 m.
Stones were also restored, on which the faces of Johann Sebastian Bach and Martin Luther who were in the temple and played on the organ were depicted in the past. Now the church is the owner of the largest organ in the Evangelical Church of Germany.
