Augustinerhof, Modern mixed-use complex in Old Town, Nuremberg, Germany.

The Augustinerhof is a modern building complex in the heart of Nuremberg's Old Town that houses retail stores, restaurants, and a hotel spread across its interconnected spaces. The design creates an open layout where shopping, dining, and lodging blend together in one accessible location.

An Augustinian monastery stood on this site from 1265 until the Reformation, after which the vacant buildings passed to the city and rural alms office. Later uses ended in decay, and the structures were demolished in 1872. The publisher Franz Willmy then built his printing works on the southern part, where the Nordbayerische Volkszeitung was printed; his son Max issued the 8-Uhr-Blatt, the Kicker and the Fränkische Tageszeitung. The site lay fallow for decades until the present complex was built between 2018 and 2021.

The name Augustinerhof has no historical meaning, as the sources note; it recalls the Augustinian monastery founded on this land in 1265. After the Reformation dissolved the monastery, its empty houses and shops passed to the city and rural alms office. The printing press of Franz Willmy later stood on the southern part, where his son Max published the Kicker and the Fränkische Tageszeitung.

The site is easy to reach on foot and accessible from multiple directions, with a connecting passage that links major squares and the riverside area. Open-air seating areas throughout the complex provide comfortable spots to rest between shopping and exploring.

The site's name has no historical meaning; it was coined for the 2018–2021 complex by Berlin architect Volker Staab, who had already designed Nuremberg's Neues Museum. Staab won the competition after the city rejected Helmut Jahn's 1991 "Glaspalast" scheme in a 1996 referendum, Nuremberg's first, with almost 69 percent voting against it.
