St. Elizabeth, Nuremberg

A chapel in the free imperial city of Nuremberg was dedicated to Elizabeth of Hungary in 1235.

It soon became inadequate for its congregation, and Catholic officials entered into protracted negotiations with the city magistrates, which lasted from 1718 to 1780, when agreement was reached that allowed for the construction of a new church building on the site.

Neumann died on 29 September 1789, and his responsibilities were taken up by Peter Anton von Verschaffelt, who resigned in 1789 because his spending was exceeding the budget.

On 27 January 1885, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bamberg, whose territory includes the city of Nuremberg, purchased the building and by 1903 had completed the church to the original plans.
