Note: Built 1625 as Brotlaube, a municipal market hall. The ground floor arcades were originally used as a market hall by the local bakers and are still in use during the weekly market on Saturday. The large first floor hall was originally also used for trading during market times; from 1698 until the 19th century it was used as a theatre by the local Komödiantengesellschaft. Closed as a theatre in 1881 due to safety concerns. Later used as a municipal art gallery, Städtische Galerie Altes Theater; closed 2011. Currently used as classrooms by the Duale Hochschule university.
