View of the Stöckl

The Stöckl von Cheb (Czech: Špalíček ) is a historical block of houses on the market square of the city of Cheb (German: Eger), which has the character of a landmark.

The custom in the Middle Ages of erecting relatively high buildings in a small space in city centers also led to the creation of the Stöckl complex in Cheb. Today there are eleven buildings, some of which are separated by a narrow alley. Its origins go back to the 13th century. The oldest depiction of the city from 1472 shows other buildings that were later demolished. As a symbol of the city, the Stöckl is the symbol of the city logo.
