Leadership in the Old House

Join our museum guide for a tour of one of the oldest residential buildings in Southern Germany. Discover the "Old House" from 1317 and the museum of local history housed within it. The "Old House" was built in 1317 as a small noble residential tower and was converted into a half-timbered house at the beginning of the 15th century. An architectural feature of note is the radial beam structure. The "Old House" is the only remaining half-timbered building in Germany with this construction style. Today, it serves as an exhibition space for the museum of local history. A small model displays the castle of Count Rudolf in its presumed state from the 12th century, while another city model provides a panoramic view of Pfullendorf around 1830. Various objects from the history of Pfullendorf are exhibited in display cases. Another section of the museum showcases the Pfullendorf guild constitution from 1383. Among the exhibits are unique historical guild lanterns that highlight the immense significance of the craft guilds in the imperial city. The "Old House" also provides space for annually changing special exhibitions. **Duration:** approximately 1 hour. **Registration** is **not** required!
