There are five magnificent gabled buildings (dating from around 1600) in the Wine Market; the former 'Aldermen's Inn' ('Gustav-Adolf-Haus') with its dainty domed tower roof, it also served as the town's guest house where important persons such as Emperor Karl V (1546) and King Gustav Adolf of Sweden (1632) stayed; a patrician house with stepped gable (now 'Zur Glocke'); the 'Deutsche Haus' with one of the most beautiful late Renaissance facades and decorative statues - Bacchus, the god of wine and frivolity can be seen sitting over the openings for the hoists; barn with curved gable decorated with obelisks - this long building 'Schranne' was a corn storehouse and one of the municipal trading places.
