"Gerberhaus" Bretten Off The Beaten Path Tip by Nemorino

This "tanner's house" was built in 1585 and is said to be the oldest residential building in the city of Bretten. It is one of the few houses that survived the great fire of 1689.

The house was renovated by a volunteer citizens' group from 1991 to 1994. It now contains a museum with a reconstruction of the city's medieval defense system and displays of shoemaker, tannery and saddle-maker workshops from pre-industrial times.
