The so-called Dietlerhaus (built in 1743) is the birthplace of Johannes Dietler (1746 -1814), banker, administrator of the church property and councillor.
Core parts of the house, however, date from the 15th/16th century
In 1915 the appearance was changed by installing a cross gable and a bay window.
In 2009 there was a conversion with an extension to the courtyard garden. During this conversion, a pit house from the Carolingian period was discovered. Pit houses were a common form of building in the early Middle Ages, and thanks to the fact that they were partly buried in the ground, they are often archaeologically detectable. Pit houses were independent small wooden buildings, actual semi-cellars, in which supplies were possibly stored, but which were provenly used primarily as weaving cellars.
