Description
The hotel "Zum Ritter" in Heidelberg was built in the year 1592. It is the only townhouse that has survived the great fire in the year 1693, because it was the only house that was build of stone. In those days most of the houses were built of wood, for that reason almost the entire city was burning down.
Please zoom for details.
Thanks for viewing.
