The Heilig-Geist-Spital in Nuremberg was the largest municipal institution for the care of the sick and (especially) the elderly in the imperial city. The hospital was partly built over the bed of the Pegnitz. It was donated by Konrad Groß, the richest citizen of Nuremberg at that time, as a pastoral device.
It is known as the repository of the imperial jewels, which were kept in Nuremberg from 1424 to 1796.
The Heilig-Geist-Spital (English: Holy Spirit Hospital) in Nuremberg was the largest hospital in the former Free Imperial City of Nuremberg. It was used as a hospital and nursing home.
Its chapel was also the depository of the Imperial Regalia, the crown jewels of the Holy Roman Empire, between 1424 and 1796. The regalia, among them the Holy Lance, were shown to believers once a year in a so-called Heiltumsweisung (worship show) on the fourteenth day after Good Friday. For coronations they were brought to Frankfurt Cathedral.
