Killingerhaus and its collection
Source
The Killingerhaus, located at König-Adolf-Platz, is a three-story citizen's house with a magnificent gable front. This central location makes it easily accessible for tourists. The house's facade is dominated by an octagonal bay window with a hipped roof, which extends over both half-timbered upper floors and protrudes over the massive ground floor. This architectural feature adds to the house's unique charm and is a sight to behold.
Current Use of Killingerhaus
Since its extensive restoration between 1981 and 1984, the Killingerhaus has been used by the tourist office and the local history museum since 1987. This makes it a hub for tourist information and a place where visitors can learn about the local history and culture.
