Deutschordenskommende Nürnberg, Medieval monastery in Old Town Nuremberg, Germany.

The Teutonic Order compound includes St. Elisabeth church with a large dome and St. James church, forming a religious complex in central Nuremberg.

Emperor Otto IV granted this land to the Teutonic Knights in 1209, leading to the establishment of a hospital preceding the Imperial Castle construction.

The complex served as both a monastery and gathering place for nobles, contributing to regional governance through important meetings and social functions.

Regular guided tours present the architectural details of the compound, while the pilgrim center in St. James's Church provides information about religious routes.

The site maintained its Catholic identity despite Nuremberg's transformation to Lutheranism in 1525, operating as a Catholic enclave within a Protestant imperial city.
