The patrician house on the corner of Marktplatz/Brückenstraße is also known as the market master's house. On the corner of the house you can find one of the few carved wooden figures on Melsungen facades. The stately man represents the market master. He regulated the smooth running of the market days, checked the quality and prices of the goods and collected fees.

On the corner of Brückenstrasse is a large figure of a man whose clothing identifies him as a prominent figure.
The pleated collar and the uniform-like cut of the doublet and trousers could support the assumption that this is a "market master" whose job was to oversee the market, where he ensured fair trade and correct weights.
A beautifully carved ornament, here as a figurative representation.
