During the 19th century the wall was reduced in height and the lower gate at the Kronenbuck was removed. On the south side, the wall was removed by building the road on Bächlinger Strasse in the 1860s. The city fortifications contribute significantly to the closed character of the city complex. It is an important testimony to historical defense technology and a legal document for the city's history. With its converted towers, it also documents the gradual, at the end of the 17th century. early onset of softening.

Thus, the population growth and topographically determined eastward expansion of the city can be read from the history of the former elementary school. The core building documents the school building in the late 19th century. in a characteristic way, the later extension with the dainty clock tower cites the half-timbered past in Langenburg and sets an urban accent in the eastern suburb.

The former forestry office is unique in the cityscape of Langenburg with its home-style architecture. The previously free location, set apart from the outskirts, is typical for the location of a forester's house. It documents the urban development in the 20th century with the shifting of the outskirts to the east.

It served as the town hall until 1819, as a warehouse until 1876 and has been a residential building ever since. The town hall made available to the citizens by the prince uniquely documents the urban planning that originated in the rulership: where previously the palace square merged seamlessly into the market square and the backyard parcels on Hinteren Gasse, there is now a visual separation. Regardless of the changes in use due to changes in use, the show facade is of high artistic quality; Details can be found as architectural quotes elsewhere in the cityscape.

Residential building with a so-called powder tower Hauptstrasse 7 Two or three-storey, solidly bricked and plastered building with an integrated so-called powder tower as the rear part of the house; Dated to 1500 in the door walls, powder tower possibly older. The building consists of three parts that were not previously connected and contains the oldest structure in the city. The powder tower has a horizontal roof structure with leaves. Its 80 cm thick masonry is older than the city wall and was not integrated into it. The function of the tower is unclear. Paintings have been preserved on the upper floor of the front living area. The building is the only surviving secular building from the time before the town fire in 1543 and the relocation of the royal residence to Langenburg in 1573. The inclination of the building on a strikingly irregular plot suggests that the medieval castle was fortified. The structure and floor plan are therefore important documents in the history of Langenburg.

The building, which is part of the oldest secular building stock in Langenburg, is an important testimony to the early history of urban construction. The conversion as an inn in a central location on the market square opposite the town hall refers to the status that was assigned to the former owner in the social fabric of the city. The need for additional inns (cf. Hauptstrasse 21, 24) reflects the economic upswing in the up-and-coming residential city.

With its building history going back to the 16th century, the half-timbered house is one of the oldest surviving houses in Langenburg. Before the construction of the city wall (from 1610), which also served as a retaining wall on the slope, the sloping terrain allowed only a small building depth, which explains the unusual eaves on the market square (see Hauptstrasse 12). The building has documentary value for several epochs in the history of town construction: late medieval core building, expansion after the construction of the town wall, baroque redesign of the facade facing the market square, division into two halves as a craftsman's house with redesign as a shop.

The former residence of the princely rent master was made available to the citizens in 1817 as the third town hall. In the 19th century it also served as the Higher Regional Court Chancellery. A holding cell on the ground floor has been preserved from this period. The sequence of use of three town halls (cf. Hintere Gasse 3, Hauptstrasse 1) illustrates the dominance of rule in the city's community: if the prince needs the town hall for other purposes, the mayor has to move. The third town hall with its older facade, which was redesigned around 1800, shapes the townscape on the market square and is a document of the princely history of public buildings in Langenburg.

The two buildings were accessed via a courtyard entrance between Hauptstrasse 36 and 42. They served a craftsman (cooper) as a place to live and work. The building complex illustrates, on the one hand, the conversion of the city fortifications, which in the 18th century had largely lost its purpose as a defensive structure and was built over due to the lack of space in the city center, and on the other hand, the living conditions of a wealthy craftsman based in the town center. This enables insights into economic, social and urban history.

Today the building, together with the Hofratshaus opposite, forms the eastern end of the castle area and the transition to the bourgeois town. Like the comparable "widow's building", the Fruchtkasten is one of the oldest stone buildings in Langenburg and a vivid example of the stately representative building of the 17th century residence, also for use as a warehouse. The stepped gable characterizes the castle area to a large extent and is a striking counterpoint to the surrounding half-timbered buildings and the flat, stretched stables.
