The mostly single-storey properties with flat pitched roofs form a row of shops and were built in Art Nouveau and Historicism style, mostly around 1900. No. 8, a three-storey hipped roof building , was built in the first half of the 19th century.

The glass dome of No. 10 is reminiscent of the town's bazaars, which first existed in the 19th century along the spa garden and from 1899 in the rose garden. At that time, as in the Balthasar-Neumann-Promenade, for example, in Salinenstrasse 37 and Salinenstrasse 47 (the former Café Neptun ), more and more bazaars were built on promenade paths. Today the row of shops houses, among other things, a pastry shop, an ice cream parlor and an Italian restaurant.

The establishment of the spa hotel annex established the opening of the shops in row no. 4 to 12.
