Münzhaus
Münzhaus stands at An der Reimlinger Mauer 26 in Nördlingen, Bavaria, as a three-storey timber-framed corner building. Its gabled roof and exposed framework give the protected monument a distinct late-medieval silhouette. Constructed around 1469, the house reflects the building methods and urban setting of that period.
Nördlingen received imperial minting privileges from King Sigismund in 1418, under the direction of mint masters. After fire destroyed the original mint on Bauhofgasse in 1534, Augustin Ainkurn established a new mint here. Minting continued during the sixteenth century, but the rights were no longer exercised by 1571. Later owners included organ maker Nikolaus Prescher and linen weaver Georg Friedrich Weinmann.
Restoration after 1945 exposed the timber frame and renewed the historic structure. Herbert Faaß began another substantial renovation after acquiring the property in 2007, completed in 2019. The building houses a dental practice run by Dr Rainer and Dr Patrick Grimm.
