Wine Market (Dinkelsbühl)

Germany / Bayern / Dinkelsbuhl / Dinkelsbühl / Wine Market
There are five magnificent gabled buildings (dating from around 1600) on the Wine Market: the former ”Aldermen’s Inn”(”Gustav-Adolf-Haus”) with its dainty domed tower roof, once a weighing house where important persons such as Emperor Karl V (1546) and King Gustav Adolf of Sweden (1632) stayed; a patrician house with stepped gable (now ”Zur Glocke”); the ”Deutsche Haus” with one of the most beautiful late Renaissance facades and decorative statues – Bacchus, the god of wine and frivolity can be seen sitting over the openings for the hoists; barn with curved gable decorated with obelisks – this long building ”Schranne” was a corn storehouse and one of the municipal trading places.
