In 1232 the suburb above the Hasenpfuhl was first mentioned in a document. Ten years later, the Nikolausbrücke was also mentioned, a two-arched late medieval building that crosses the Speyerbach .

The houses on both sides of the bridge were destroyed in the Palatine War of Succession in 1689 and rebuilt between 1698 and 1702. To the south was the “Zum Halben Mond” inn (today: Halbmond ), opposite the “Zur Sonne” inn. The bridge was then called the Sun Bridge .

In 1927 the building was fitted with a shop, the architect was Georg Schwarz. Since then, the house has been renovated to preserve the existing structure. There is currently a jewelry store on the ground floor (as of 2017).
