Disasters

  • August 31st : In the major fire in Schwäbisch Hall , two thirds of the old town are destroyed by flames. In addition to 294 private houses, two churches, the hospital, the town hall and the saltworks burned down. The reconstruction is carried out in the Baroque style, which has shaped the cityscape to this day, although the medieval quarters will be retained except for the newly planned Neue Straße.
