Text on the Sign:
"
Rabengasse. Fast scheint es, als ob sich die Raben-
gasse zurückziehen wollte vom Lärm und Leben
der Stadt, um so die Zeit ungestört zu überdauern.
In der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts hat
der Architekt Richard Brosi die Häuser «zur Turtel-
taube», «Pestalozza» und «zum Raben» umgebaut.
Sie bilden zusammen mit Restaurant, Pestalozza-
Saal und Galerie ein eigentliches kleines Kultur-
zentrum. Trotz dieser Umbauten blieb der ehr-
würdige Geist der Bürgerhäuser aus dem späten
16. Jahrhundert erhalten, so dass die drei Bauten
noch heute charakteristisch sind für die spät-
gotische Baukultur in Chur.

Racenstreet. It almost seems as if the raven
alley wanted to withdraw from the noise and life
of the city in order to survive the time undisturbed.
In the second half of the 20th century
the architect Richard Brosi converted the three houses «The turtle
deaf», «Pestalozza» and «To the raven».
Together with the restaurant, Pestalozza-
Hall and gallery a real little cultural
center. Despite these modifications, the honorable
worthy spirit of town houses from the late
16th century preserved so that the three buildings
are still characteristic of the late
Gothic building culture in Chur.
