The house, supported by the Ravensburger Bürger foundations, fulfilled the tasks of an orphanage and poor house as well as an old people's home. Since the end of the 19th century the hospital took over the function of a municipal hospital. The large hall with Gothic pillars and the chapel, consecrated in 1498 with a mural of the Last Judgment around 1500, are worth seeing.
