    The Kümmelspalterei is a listed building in Heidelberg at Hauptstraße 117. This residential building and restaurant was built in 1766. A wine bar was located there at least since 1805, known as the "Alte Pfalz" in 1844. The name "Kümmelspalterei" first appears in 1920.

    The four-story, gabled house is located approximately in the middle of Heidelberger Hauptstraße, the most important street in Heidelberg's old town. The windows of the main floor were extended into doors around 1910. A striking feature is the sgraffito relief depicting the restaurant's name, depicting a gnome splitting caraway seeds with a neo-Baroque wavy gable above. The second floor housed the salon of a professorial fraternity. The 19th-century stained glass windows depict heads, pretzels, fish, and other objects. The top floor was added in 1898 and, unlike the floors below, does not have any dormer windows.
