The Perlachberg is a short stretch of street with a tram track in downtown Augsburg , which leads steeply down from the Rathausplatz to the Stadtmetzg . The street was named after the Perlach tower located there .
One of the first large-scale buildings was the baker's guild house (so-called baker's house ), which was built in 1602 by the city architect Elias Holl . This building, like almost all other buildings on this street, was completely destroyed by the air raids on Augsburg during World War II. Only the building with house number 6, which was built in the 13th century, remained. It has a distinctive facade with a gable top and round openings.
Behind the Perlach tower, a small side street, the Hintere Perlachberg , branches off. There is a large staircase there that connects to the fish market at St. Peter's Church . In its further course, the Hintere Perlachberg connects to the Sterngasse, which is named after the Maria Stern monastery there . Many old buildings were also destroyed during the bombing on the Hinterer Perlachberg. This includes, among other things, the formerly well-known inn "Zur finsteren Stube" (right in the picture). After the war this place remained vacant and was used as a parking area. It was not until the 1980s that buildings were erected again on this site.
At the lower end of the Perlachberg, after the Stadtmetzg, the Perlachberg turns into Barfüßerstraße, which is named after the Barfüßerkirche there.
