Is this image, taken about 1900, actually from Nuremberg?
I'm trying to identify the place (and if possible the building, the church and the fountain) in this image:
The image is labelled as a street in Nuremberg and taken between 1880 and 1912. However, I haven't been able to match the two church towers in the background to any church in Nuremberg. From other images in the collection, we can confirm that the photographer was in Nuremberg and other Bavarian cities, but some images weren't properly labelled (for example, an image originally labelled as being Pappenheim actually showed Munich's Marienplatz).

Then, the image could actually be Nuremberg or if it isn't Nuremberg it's likely to be another Bavarian city.
The image can be also found at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Un_carrer_de_Nuremberg.jpeg or in its original location at http://mdc.csuc.cat/cdm/singleitem/collection/afceccf/id/22180/rec/936
A summary of my motives to ask about location of old photographs is in my previous question.
Best Answer
I would suggest asking the Nuremberg Municipal Museums about this image or others tagged as Nürnberg.
Local museums are often interested in receiving such images taken by visitors since sometimes angles, viewpoints or a timeframe may complement their existing collections.
Based on @Arthur'sPass answer, which looks to me like a realistic candidate, the details on the right of your image might be of interest to a local museum in Zürich.
