"The old town hall, centrally located in the middle of the village, was built in 1578. It originally served as a courthouse. Today, the mayor's office and the meeting room are on the first floor. The museum of local history and the North Palatinate gallery are located in the stairwell and on the top floor. [...] A visit to the museum and gallery shows which devices, tools and furnishings were used in agriculture, winemaking and crafts and which interesting personalities lived and worked in the North Palatinate." Source (quoted verbatim): http://www.steinhauermuseum.de/cms/ There is also a flood mark from September 21, 1969 on this beautiful building!
