Tourist Attractions

- 2 Old Town Hall - Today the tourist information, the city archive and the library are housed here
- 3 Evangelical town church - A church is said to have stood here as early as the 9th century. This was replaced at the beginning of the 14th century by a new building, which housed a sculpture of St. Margaret inside. Some miracles were attributed to this sculpture, so that the church developed into a place of pilgrimage. In order to cope with the onslaught of pilgrims, the church was replaced by a larger new building in the 15th century. This essentially corresponds to the current appearance. The miracle sculpture, however, fell victim to the Reformation in 1527.
