The so-called Scheunenviertel is a special feature in Velden and has a high cultural and historical value from a monument protection point of view. The half-timbered barns on the left and right of Friedhofstrasse once had to be built outside the city wall by order of Emperor Charles IV due to the risk of fire.

"The so-called barn district is a unique feature in Velden and possesses high cultural and historical value from a heritage conservation perspective. The half-timbered barns to the left and right of Friedhofstraße had to be built outside the city walls by order of Emperor Charles IV due to the fire hazard."

The former Middle Franconian district curator of local heritage, Dr. Ernst Eichhorn of Ansbach, stated:

This ensemble in Velden is one of the best-preserved in the Franconian region. Since such barn districts are found only in this area, it is unique in Germany.
