The four houses with the ornate bay towers were built in 1608 and, after being destroyed in 1688, were restored between 1689 and 1692, probably according to plans by Johann Christoph Sebastiani, and the bay windows were renewed. Some of the houses are labeled: "Zu Sankt Petrus" (1691), "Zum Grünen Baum" (1692) and "Hauptwache" (1690, Eckhaus Marktstrasse / Plan). Originally there were three-story houses with half-timbered upper floors and two gables each. Today there is a richly decorated, two-storey stone bay window facing the street with a lantern crown.
