Built in 1519, 1706 residence of Maria Johanna von Stuben. The west front of the crooked main building of the so-called Stubenschen Schlösschen rests on the inner city wall, which ran from the rogue tower down the steep Schloßhalde down to the Mühlkanal. The house was bought in 1706 by the widowed Maria Johanna von Stuben, who came from the Baron von Hohenberg family, who had come from the morganatic marriage of Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria-Tyrol to Philippine Welser, a daughter of Augsburg.

The alliance coat of arms of those of Stuben and the married Johann Franz von Barille is located above the entrance gate to the arcade courtyard. Around 1760 the Geßler family of cloth merchants set up a silk factory and dyeing shop in the building, which was to be followed in 1880 by the sculptor's studio of Peter Paul Hausch. In 1984, in addition to condominiums, a restaurant was set up during the renovation of Stubenschen Schlößchen.

1273 city gate, witch prison. Leading west to east, the 1273 inner Ihlinger Gate granted access to Horber's Old Town, which is surrounded by a nearly rectangular city wall, which is why, according to the Morgenstern, this city gate was also called the Lucifer Tower. On the second floor of the gate tower, behind the small window opening to the left of the upper loopholes, the "Ruebkammer", made of wooden planks, served as a witch prison. Here at the beginning of modern times many innocent victims of this mass delusion between the "amicable and embarrassing" interrogations on the torturer or after a pronounced verdict on the executioner had to wait. Today, the stay there is much more pleasant, after a restaurant has been set up in the gate tower in the eighties.
