description

The marketplace that defines the site is likely to have been built or expanded in the 13th century. It is bordered by a southern and northern line of around 30 parcels each. The northern row has a great depth. It extends backwards to the old market boundary, which has been marked with an avenue since the late 18th century by the anger-like street of the Krankenhausstrasse.

To the north, farm buildings and gardens are assigned to the residential buildings on the market. In the middle of this row of parcels, the parish church found its place in a courtyard-like recess. The baroque building , which lies behind the houses on the market, towers over the bourgeois properties with its double tower facade.

The properties of the southern Marktzeile facing the Danube are less deep. In addition to gardens and a few farm buildings, the town's waterfront features late Baroque and Biedermeier style, gable-independent residential and garden houses as well as individual manufacturing buildings .

The closed development on the market square consists of plastered houses with two or three storeys and a lively variety of roofs. Eaves side houses alternate with half hipped roof buildings , the steep gables are almost always behind horizontal or curved walls.

In addition to the stately inns and boatmen's houses, which mostly got their exterior design after the great fire of 1839 in Biedermeier forms, but are essentially much older, there are still some craftsmen's houses with protruding flat roofs .

In the east, the street has its target in the old care castle, a late Gothic complex that was formerly surrounded by water .

The west is defined by simple rows of small eaves-sided houses, most of which were built on a modified plot structure after the fire in 1839.
