Deutsches Spielearchiv Nürnberg
Deutsches Spielearchiv Nürnberg is housed in the Pellerhaus, where you encounter a museum and research centre devoted to games. It belongs to Nuremberg’s municipal museums and combines research with preservation. More than thirty thousand games document German-speaking regions, especially creations from after 1945.
Bernward Thole founded the institution in Marburg in 1985 from his private collection of 5,000 games. Nuremberg became its home in 2010. Board and table games share the shelves with cards, dice, other random generators, and legacies from Alexander Randolph and Peter Pallat. The Spear’s Games Archive adds material donated by Francis Spear’s great-grandson.
Game afternoons with the Ali Baba Spieleclub bring people together around the tables. Annual events include Frisch auf den Tisch and Stadt-Land-Spielt. Schools and kindergartens use workshops and activities to explore games as cultural heritage. The Pellerhaus foyer presents changing exhibitions with special pieces, while the library and collection open for visits by appointment.
