Alte Bleiche

The present street “An der Burgkirche” between the market place and Burgkirche was formerly known as Kirchgasse (Church Alley). There a remarkable collection of mainly baroque buildings has been almost completely preserved. Typical examples are the butcher’s house (No. 1) and the protestant parish house (No 7).
