Lonely Planet review for Nuremberg Trials Courthouse

Nazis were tried for crimes against peace and humanity in the Schwurgerichtssaal 600 (Courtroom 600). The Allies chose Nuremberg for obvious symbolic reasons. The building was also easily accessible and one of few such complexes to survive the war intact. Held between 1945 and 1946, 22 leaders and 150 underlings were convicted; dozens were executed.

    Little changed since the trials

    trent_at_lp recommends this,

    The courtroom itself has changed little since the trials took place, and is an incredibly atmospheric - and quite chilling - place to be, knowing who was tried in that room and the events that took place. The day we visited we were the only people visitors, and for half an hour or so we sat and soaked up the history of the room. Venture upstairs to read about the trials (in German, English audio gudie provided). Well worth the journey from the old town. Be aware that it is still used as a court room and may not always be open.
