Nuremberg gingerbread is a world-famous specialty. They go back to Frankish monks who have been making this special pastry since the 14th century. The first known document entry of a gingerbread maker dates back to 1395. At that time, Nuremberg was an important point on various trade routes. In this way, many foreign spices such as allspice, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon found their way into the city. As well as rare ingredients such as almonds. In addition, there was a well-functioning beekeeper in the nearby Lorenzer Reichswald, which also ensured the supply of honey.</
