A look at the council scale

A historical highlight mentioned during the tour is the council scale , which was built in 1550 in the Renaissance style. In the Waagestrasse 8 , it originally served to scale goods, but has also developed into an important wedding house and event location over the centuries. Among other things, a "fright mask" on the gable adorns the building to keep misfortune away. After a devastating fire in 1969, the facade was lovingly restored, and today visitors can enjoy rustic cuisine in the associated restaurant "Zur Ratswaage".

In summer, a small beer garden also invites you to linger. The offer is rounded off by the free brochure "The half -timbered architecture in the Fachwerk5eck", which is available in the guest formations and offers exciting insights into the regional architecture.
