    Hiking

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

    Hiking

    At the corner to Brückenstraße, a large figure of a man is depicted, whose clothing identifies him as Hervorgehoben.
    The pleated collar and the uniform-like cut of the doublet and trousers could support the assumption that it is a "Marktmeister" (market master), whose task was to supervise the market, where he ensured fair trade and correct weights.
    A beautifully carved piece of jewelry, here as a figurative representation.
