DSC1579 A narrow cobbled stoned street is Weißgerbergasse (White Tanner's Lane) The street is lined with about 20 medieval timber framed houses, some with no more than two windows wide. They were the homes and workshops of the city's skilled craftsmen specializing in the tanning trade, producing leather goods from animal skins for the clothing trade in the middle ages. Due to the fact that 95% of Nuremberg was destroyed towards the end of the second world war, miraculously, these dwellings survived intact. Today, the street has a number of restaurants and bistros and is a popular tourist attraction.
