1. Schrannenplatz mit Kornhaus / The Schrannenplatz with Corn House Marker
Das Kornhaus wurde 1483 erbaut. Zweimal in der Woche fanden in der gewölbten Halle Getreidemärkte statt. Getreide war das wichtigste Grundnahrungsmittel, da Brei und Fladen die Hauptgerichte des einfachen Volkes waren.
Im Obergeschoss war die Schulstube für die Füssener Knaben und eine Lehrer-Wohnung untergebracht. Später bis 1996 wurde die Halle als Feuerwehrgerätehaus verwendet.
Bemerkenswertes
• gewölbte Halle mit Renaissance-Stuckelementen, datiert 1570
The Corn House was built in 1483. Twice a week corn markets were held in the domed hall. Grain was the staple diet, as the main meals of the ordinary people chiefly consisted of boiled cereals and flat bread.
The upper storey housed the school room for the boys of Füssen and a teacher's apartment. Later the hall was used for the fire brigade's equipment until 1996.
Highlights
