German:
Dieses mittelalterliche Gebäude wurde im 15. Jahrhundert erbaut, und zweimal fast komplett zerstört und wieder aufgebaut. Seit 1999 befindet sich hier das Ladengeschäft von Wicklein Lebkuchen, ein Ort für hohe Nürnberger Handwerkskunst und Tradition, mit über 400-jähriger Firmengeschichte. 2017 wandelte sich das Geschäft in „Die Lebküchnerei", einem Ladencafé mit neuem Konzept und Design - modern und dennoch ganz im Sinne jahrhundertealter Traditionen.
