Dinkelsbühl - Deutsches Haus

In the Dinkelsbühl Weinmarkt, immediately north of the Marktplatz, is the Deutsches Haus, a beautiful half-timbered building of the 16th C. Adjoining it on the right is the old Schranne (Granary), in which the pageant play of the "Kinderzeche" (commemorating an occasion in 1632 when the children of the town, then under siege by the Swedish army, saved it from destruction by begging the Swedes for mercy) is performed every year.
