The tanners' quarter is made up of tall half-timbered houses, most of which date from the 17th and 18th centuries. These buildings were once home to the families of tanners who lived, worked and dried their skins on the top floor. Between 1698 and 1974, the tanners' quarter was extensively restored, giving the city center its splendor again.

The former tanners' quarter began directly behind the market hall. The Alsatian architectural style of the tanners is particularly evident in the Petite Rue des Tanneurs. The half-timbered houses built in the 17th and 18th centuries are relatively high compared to other buildings. The steep gable roofs, which are well ventilated through slit shutters, are characteristic.
These were connected to each other via a breakthrough and were used to dry the furs. The ditch for the tanneries' wastewater ran on the side of the Rue de Tanneurs. What seems so idyllic today must have smelled awful back then. That was one of the reasons why the quarter was built on the edge of the city at the time and near the Lauch. Of course, this was of little use to the tanners' families. They still had to live here.
