Here, at the lower gate of the suburb, the former blacksmith's and wagon smithy, for the horses and riders of travelers, is located. The gate's pillars on both sides of the street are still standing. In the 18th and 19th centuries, road and bridge tolls were paid here (Provisanerhaus).

A glimpse inside is rarely seen.

The traditional artisanal blacksmith shop, once found in almost every village, has now almost completely disappeared. If the village didn't have its own forge (in villages with green meadows, this was preferred on the village green next to the village pond due to the fire hazard), the forging work was done by traveling blacksmiths, a kind of precursor to the field forge. The most important piece of equipment was the forge, in which the glowing blacksmith coal (a high-quality hard coal) was heated to a maximum temperature of approximately 1250°C with the help of bellows. In some newer forges, the forge is also powered by coke. Above the hearth is the chimney, which served as an outlet for smoke and sparks.

The old smithy still houses the workshop if you peek through the windows. The old building is connected to a half-timbered building.
