In the 19th century, barns were built on top of the ramparts, which were later converted into dwellings. All half-timbered.
I have never seen such a half-timbered front. Seems pretty unique to me.
"After the last fire in 1831, the barns were built further out on the former city wall, which resulted in today's characteristic town view of a closed front of half-timbered houses." (Source Wikipedia)
