Former Stadthaus Hotel

Highlight • Historical Site

The hotel, built in 1818/19, is a mighty four-storey plastered building with 9 × 5 axes under a weakly bent full hip roof. The ground floor largely corresponds to the floor plan of the former department store from 1470, and various parts of this previous building were also used in the construction. The arcade consists of limestone pillars and arcades that imitate Haustein.
