Also see . . . Münsterplatz (Schwäbisch Gmünd) (Wikipedia, in German). "The building dates back to 1557, but the building was erected using Romanesque building materials. The half-timbering took place in 1938. Interior renovations were completed in 1949 and 1986. The ground floor was originally a two-nave hall. Since the 19th century, the house has always been divided into two parts." (Submitted on January 5, 2018.)
