Schorndorf's city center boasts a real rarity. On the corner of Johann-Philipp-Palm-Straße and Archivstraße stands one of the very few preserved historical archive buildings, which is also still used as an archive store today. In 1770, in response to the devastating city fire of 1743, the city council decided to have a fireproof archive building built. The decision-makers at the time were certainly also affected by the painful loss of almost all of the city's records in 1634, when almost the entire city was reduced to rubble and ashes as a result of its(Submitted on October 24, 2024.)bombardment during the Thirty Years' War. The start of construction of the city archive was, however, delayed until 1785. The state building inspector Johann Adam Gross the Younger was responsible for the construction, creating a two-story building with a hipped roof and a simple but elegant late baroque-classical appearance. A characteristic feature are the iron shutters installed as a fire protection measure.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, September 13, 20242.
