Frankeburg in Eppingen: Experience history in a half-timbered house

Frankeburg in Eppingen: A rare half-timbered jewel opens its doors

The tour of the cultural monument Frankeburg in the historic old town of Eppingen takes you into one of the oldest surviving half-timbered houses of the city. The residential-stable house built in 1457 at Steingasse 4 is considered the second oldest half-timbered house in Eppingen and impressively conveys how living and working were interconnected in a medieval town.

Historical atmosphere to experience

Anyone walking through Steingasse experiences an ancient roadway that led from the old town street to the medieval gardens in front of the city wall. Today, it runs along the half-timbered path toward the train station, making Frankeburg a prominent stop for all who wish to discover Eppingen's architectural culture up close.

Late medieval architecture with special source value

The monument showcases a late medieval half-timbered structure with a gable fragment, paneled wood connections, and a showcase facade that visibly reflects the significance of the house in the city's architectural history. According to monument protection and specialist sources, the building possesses high source value for regional house and structure research and sheds light on smallholder-influenced living conditions in pre-modern Eppingen.
