For centuries, Nuremberg was the secret capital of the Holy German Roman Empire, here the well-known Diets of Nuremberg were held, assemblies where the emperor of the Holy Empire met with the prince electors. For this crucial importance was chosen as a propaganda center during the Third Reich. Hitler considered Nuremberg the heir of the Germanic traditions, the capital of the congresses, wanting to keep alive the memory and the legacy of the powerful Germanic Empire of the Middle Ages in the Nazi structure.
Such was its significance that here resided one of the greatest representatives of anti-Semitism of the regime, Julius Streicher, the owner and promoter of the weekly Der Stürmer. The city acquired the title of German city par excellence, being presented as the most loyal locality to the regime of all.
