The Retscher is the ruin of a Gothic town house in Speyer's historic old town. The only significant remains of a medieval secular building in the city are the ruins of the Retscher. It is a former patrician house from the 13th century, named after its builder, Retschelinus (mentioned in 1241). The late Hohenstaufen window openings with profiled trefoil arches are notable.

The sacking of Speyer in 1689 left hardly any remains of secular buildings. All that remains of the bishop's palace next to the cathedral is a stump of a stair tower; a Gothic archway remains of the town hall; Gothic window arches from a residential building were uncovered during renovations in the facade of the Church of the Holy Spirit; and a Renaissance stair tower can still be found in Spitalgasse.
