Heiligen-Geist-Hospital
Heiligen-Geist-Hospital is not only one of Europe's oldest social institutions but also one of the most significant and well-preserved monumental buildings from the Middle Ages. Although initially used to tend to the sick, the building eventually came to serve as an almshouse. In the early 19th century, wooden compartments called "Kabäuschen" (cubby-holes) were added along the central nave to house the poor and needy. The building is still used as a retirement home today. However, the chambers and the church hall are used today for individual events and for the Kunsthandwerker-Weihnachtsmarkt, the craftsmen's Christmas market.
