Due to its historical sights, the Johannisfriedhof is a world-famous tourist destination in the context of a cemetery tourism and a station within the historic mile of Nuremberg.

For many, the district of Johannis, located in the west of Nuremberg between Burg and Pegnitz, is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric in the city. The historic heart is the St. Johannis Cemetery, one of the most important burial sites in Europe, which is under strict preservation order.
Originally he was around in the 10./11. Century created as a local cemetery of the village Johannis in front of the western city wall of the medieval Nuremberg.

The deceased Nuremberg citizens were then still buried within the city walls in the cemeteries of the parishes of St. Sebald and St. Lawrence. This changed when, in the late Middle Ages, the plague spread from the Middle East into western and central Europe and caused a mass extinction.

Since the churchgoers feared that the plague might rise from the graves that lay around the churches and infect them, in 1518 the council decided to bury the dead only in front of the city wall.
Buried next to more or less normal citizens and the prominence of the city of Nuremberg since the 16th century in St. John's.
