Der Königsbau
-
Until 1977 here stood, because of its three-pronged gable and its imposing appearance, the so-called "Königsbau" (literally, "royal building"). From 1863 to 1899 it housed the egg pasta factory of Johann Jakob Schüle. On January 31, 1950, the building fell victim to a major fire, with its building-defining attic collapsing. Until the demolition of the entire building, the attic was transformed into a single, correspondingly higher floor. In 1977-78, the Königsbau was finally demolished and replaced by the present building. (Marker Number 5.)
