Görlitz - Lower Market Untermarkt

The Untermarkt, which was the heart of medieval Görlitz, is surrounded by Late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings. Several of the houses (Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 22) preserve interiors characteristic of great merchants' houses during the town's economic heyday between 1480 and 1547. On the east side of the square are the Late Gothic Lange Lauben (Long Arcades), once the shops of cloth merchants, and a Baroque house, the Brauner Hirsch.

On the north side is the old Ratsapotheke (Municipal Pharmacy; 1550), with a double sundial. Also on the north side is a house at No. 22 with a Late Gothic doorway known as the "Whispering Arch" (Flüsterbogen) and a Renaissance house of 1536 at No. 23.
