Could it be the Imperial Castle tower?

Are you sure the photo is taken in Nürnberg?

I googled "Kaiserburg" that is the imperial castle and "Nürnberger Burg" but all the towers look different than the one in the pic...

Nürnberger Burg ? Wikipedia

I believe that building is Tiergartnertorturm.

This pic shows your etching next to a 1946 photo from a different direction. Note the turret in the two images.

That's pretty cool thanks dc.....and don I will email and see what answer I get I will let you know thanks guys

After more research and consideration, I don't think the tower in your sketch is Tiergartnertorturm.

I can't find a single image of that tower with the "bay" on it - new or old. I suspect the tower in the sketch is one of the more generic ones along the wehrgang. Possibly Turm Grunes J pictured below.

Remeber Nuremburg was heavily damaged during the war and rebuilt over much of the next 40 or 50 years.

My point is... Since the etchings we have of that area are pre-wwII, I don't think that scene exists as it did back then anymore.
