Hidden ruin awakens from slumber
Parasite house with city wall remains - a historical jewel! The name "Schmarotzerhaus" sounds strange at first, but the building tells an interesting story. In the past, "parasites" lived here, i.e. house inhabitants who did not have to pay taxes, but in return had no rights. Today the house is a monument and houses the local museum.
Next to the parasite house there is a restored part of the city wall, which gives an impressive insight into the medieval fortification of the city. From here, you also have a great view of the old town and the diverse cityscape. If you are a fan of history and architecture, you should not miss the Schmarotzerhaus with the remains of the city wall.
