Built at the end of the 16th century, this house served as the birthplace as Dr. Franz-Josef Gall. He was born there in 1758 and lived there until he left for university in Strasbourg. He is most famous for his development of the study of phrenology. Although this has been discredited as a legitimate science, in Gall's time and even into the early 20th century, it was used by scientists to explain mental development and personality.
The building is currently used as a dry-cleaner and additional services.
