The house of the family Kern

"Kernhaus"

The facade of this edifice directly opposite the Rathaus was formed by the court stucco specialist Johann Baptist Zimmermann, who combined two buildings into one common facade. It is regarded as one of the most beautiful rococo facades in southern Germany and was commissioned by the unusually rich patrician family Kern. The Kernhaus passed into the hands of the town council for use as a courthouse in 1795. The local council was also situated here until 1849. The left side of the building was rebuilt as a modern courthouse in 1965/68, the right side today houses a hotel.
