Mittlere Hauptstraße / Alter Marktplatz

The building is a long-stretched-out house with a mighty roll gable with several compartments. The Baroque building was erected in two phases on the Gothic foundations of the house burnt down in 1689: the front part of the building dates back to 1720 and the rear third to 1772. In 1984 the house was completely renovated inside and out.

Beck's House
A late Baroque house with a high pointed gable from 1760. In 1908 the building was carefully renovated and shops were built in. Together with the Battiany House, which is in the same row of houses, Beck's house is the most important house of a wealthy citizen in Offenburg. In 1984 another thorough renovation inside and out was carried through.

Jenewein House
A three-storey half timber building from the 19th century. Up to 1896 the building housed the "Fortuna" Hotel, which was well known far beyond the borders of the town. Up to the early 1970s the Jenewein hardware store was located in the "Fortuna" house. In 1977 the house was renovated.

Battiany House
A three-storey patrician house with sgraffito works below the windows. The house was erected in 1793 on behalf of the merchant Anton Billet. In 1840 Joseph Anton Battiany bought the premises.

Neptune's Fountain
In an eight-sided basin foliaged in Gothic style the fountain base rises in the middle, on the column of which stands the statue of Neptune, the god of the sea. The old fountain statue from 1783, which was full of cracks, is now in the Ritterhaus Museum. The present statue is a copy made by the elder Peter Valentin.
