An example of this is the 1717 baroque “Haus zum Saal”, with its striking red stepped gable. Better known by the Bambergers as the Wallenstein House, it still has a Gothic architectonic structure. The name Wallenstein House, or today Wallenstein Passage, goes back to the Bohemian commander Albrecht von Wallenstein, who is said to have spent three nights there in 1632. A plaque on the facades bears witness to this event.
The coat of arms of the barons of Aufseß with two banners is displayed above the round portal in Langen Strasse: “The noble Carl Sigismund, dean of Bamberg and deputy of the prince-bishop, donated this house to his family in 1715. His nephew, the respected Mr. Heinrich Christoph Freiherr von Aufseß, completed the house in 1717”.
