    The showpiece among Mosbach's half-timbered houses is the Palm House. It was built by the Schragmüllers, a respected and wealthy family of civil servants in the Electorate of the Palatinate's Mosbach district.

    It was completed in 1610. The full splendor of the late Renaissance is evident in its ornate facade with its wooden beams decorated with carvings and paintings.

    Three half-timbered upper floors and a three-story bay window are on a stone console.

      Great half-timbered building with numerous jealous heads. In the Middle Ages, the word "envy" became the term we still use today for "not to begrudge someone something" or envy in the sense of "wishing harm".
      An envious head is a grimace attached to walls, doors or gables of houses and other buildings.
      To ward off evil, grotesque heads of animals, people or fabulous monsters made of stone or wood were attached to doors in Europe. According to popular belief, the envious head should ward off mischief and evil. The evil powers and spirits should not envy the people in the buildings covered with it and should not antagonize them against the residents. Envy heads were particularly found on pillars and parts of buildings facing west, since the demons were mainly suspected there.

        The Palmsche Haus in Mosbach is like the supermodel among half-timbered houses – it attracts all eyes and poses proudly on the market square. With its intricately carved beams and magnificent bay window, it almost seems to say, "Yes, I know, I'm beautiful!"
