After more than 700 plague deaths were found: Is the pathogen still contagious?. As of: February 24, 2024, 5:28 p.m By: Felix Herz CommentsPressSplit It is probably the largest plague cemetery in Germany, which was recently found in Nuremberg.

The origin of the plague cemetery probably lies in the devastating wave of plague between 1632 and 1634, which resulted in between 15,000 and 25,000 deaths. Most of them were buried in mass graves. Several of these have now been uncovered and are to be examined.
