At the very heart of the Altstadt lies this square, flanked by ornate facades. The 16th-century Mohrenbrunnen marks the north of the old market place, while at the southern end stands the Metzgerbrunnen (Butcher’s Fountain), a William Tell–type figure and a large clock tower. Facing the latter is the late baroque Herrenstube , built in 1748, which was once the drinking hole of quaffing nobles.
