Café Schönborn
Café Schönborn stands beside the market, with broad panoramic windows facing the Falkenhaus and Marienkapelle. The glass keeps both façades visible from the sheltered interior. Market activity remains part of the room, as people cross the square beyond the windows. Two floors give the café space for meetings and pauses. Summer extends the seating outdoors, adding another way to watch market life.
The spot is also recorded as a Nette Toilette and public toilet. Its audience includes pupils, students, families, visitors, and people arriving alone. Anton Englert had the building erected in 1952 for the Hotel Englert, with a restaurant and café. His son Erwin later continued that hotel, restaurant, and café business. The interior combines a timeless, elegant style with windows connecting directly to the square.
The present name recalls Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn, a prince-bishop. The former hotel setting holds a café linked directly to the market and its historic façades. From one indoor seat, the market and two historic buildings occupy the same view.
