1. Franziskaner-Kloster / Franciscan Monastery Marker
Entlang der früheren Maulbeerallee zum Heidelberger Schloß wurde ab 1767 die Klosteranlage der Franziskaner mit Klosterkirche und Kreuzgang errichtet. 1802 verließen die Mönche das Kloster und gaben es auf. Sie wurden von den Kapuzinern in Heidelberg aufgenommen. 1907 wurde das Klostergebäude abgebrochen, der Klosterkeller an dieser Stelle erbaut und lange als Gaststätte betrieben. Danach diente das umgestaltete Haus der Städtischen Sparkasse als Domizil, bis es schließlich von der Deutschen Bank bezogen wurde.
Starting in 1767, the Franciscan monastery complex with a monastery church and cloister was built along the former Maulbeerallee leading to Heidelberg Castle. In 1802, the monks left the monastery and gave it up. They were taken in by the Capuchins in Heidelberg. In 1907, the monastery building was demolished, the monastery cellar was built on its site and operated as a restaurant for a long time. The remodeled building then served as the home of the Municipal Savings Bank until it was finally occupied by Deutsche Bank.
