Architecture and history

The two-storey half - timbered house was built according to an inscription in 1660 by the builder Andreas Bock . It probably served as the guild house of the Neustadt draperies. Presumably widows and invalids of the cloth makers' guild were housed on the property. The half-timbered facade shows the half-timbered shape . There are also stylized valleys and decorative nails as well as a profiled parapet plank. The house faces Reichenstrasse with its eaves and the Augustinern street with its gable. The width is ten containers in both directions . The ground floor was massively renewed later. In addition, two windows were added to the gable.

A long, two-storey half-timbered building, which was also built in the 17th century and served as a hospital, extends towards the Augustinern street. It is decorated with pyramid beam heads. A gate passage leads through the house at the eastern end; medieval gate wings were reused for the gate .
