The Lauterbach legend of the lost sock is symbolized by the "Lauterbacher Strolch", known throughout Germany. This likeable boy with the specimen case and umbrella was the advertising icon of "Lauterbacher Strolch Camembert" for over 100 years. Today, the town mascot stands as a monument in the Lauter.

The Winterplatz is dominated by the former brewery, an 18th-century timber-framed building that was converted into a residence in 1921. The ground floor now houses the town library and the wedding chamber. The lion on the fountain is a replica of the old market fountain lion, which holds the Grünberg coat of arms rider. Directly on the slope stands a small stone house dating from 1582. Here ends the pressurized water pipeline, which, since 1492, has used various systems to pump water up from the spring area 60 meters below. https://www.gruenberg.de/kultur-freizeit/kultur-sehenswertes/historischer-stadtrundgang/8-brauhaus-wasserkunst/

Grünberg has many beautiful half-timbered houses, and the old town also has a lot to offer.
