Summary "Endres Tuchers Baumeisterbuch der Stadt Nürnberg" by Endres Tucher is a historical account written in the late 15th century. This work documents the organization and operations of the construction office in the city of Nürnberg, providing insights into the roles and regulations concerning the city's builders and craftsmen during that time period. The opening of the text introduces the context in which Endres Tucher was appointed as the city mason (Baumeister) in 1461. Tucher outlines his responsibilities, including oversight of construction projects, management of city laborers, and maintenance of building materials. He emphasizes the need for clear regulations and standards in the industry, indicating that his documentation serves as a guide for future city masons. Throughout his writing, Tucher's observations and experiences illustrate not only the technical aspects of his role but also the socio-economic conditions of 15th-century Nürnberg, thereby painting a vivid picture of urban life during that era.
