    Two richly decorated merchant houses. The house on the left bears the year 1607 on a stone. Experts date the construction of the upper half-timbered floors of both houses, which were placed on top of massive older structures, to this period. The Mainz wheel on the house on the right was in the keystone of a Gothic pointed arch, the former market fountain entrance on this site. The bear on the side wall was an ornament on a window lintel that was later bricked up. In the house on the left, then the "Zum Braunen Hirsch" inn, the so-called "Orb Revolution" began in 1849, as a pub dispute between Bavarian soldiers and residents that escalated into riot is known in local history. (The Bavarian soldiers had been relocated to Bad Orb because of the "mad year" of 1848 and to prevent poaching.) After their expulsion, they returned a few days later with reinforcements and cannons and recaptured the town.

      Very beautiful, well-preserved and renovated half-timbered houses. This clearly shows how wealthy Bad Orb was.
