history
The house was sold on December 17, 1406 by Heinrich von Eisenburg to the Charterhouse Buxheim, which from then on used it as a town house. The current building with the Swabian pointed gable dates from 1551. In 1724 a sandstone coat of arms of the Charterhouse was attached next to the front door, which was dismantled after the secularization and kept in the town hall . When the house was renovated in 1951, it was returned to its original location. The front door with the simple fields was installed around 1800. After the secularization, the house went into private ownership, in 1951 and 2002 the house was renovated and renewed.
