Adjacent to St Sebald is the triangular Albrecht Dürer Platz, with an 1840 bronze statue of the great artist. Behind the statue is the entrance to the Nürnberger Felsengänge (Nuremberg Rock-Cut Cellars), huge cellars cut out of sandstone to provide cold storage for beer. The first ones were cut before 1380 and were used up to 1900. Four levels of cellars were cut and, during the air raids ofWorld War II, up to 25,000 people hid here. As with the Art Bunker, there is not much to see other than the bare walls. Note that, even in summer, the temperature stays below 8°C/46°F. Guided tours meet at the Albrecht-Dürer-Platz behind the memorial, daily at 11 am, 1, 3, and 5 pm.
