The Grimmelhaus was built in the 15th and 16th centuries. Over time it changed ownership several times. From the 17th to the 19th Century it belonged to families of the patrician Grimmel family. Today the city of Memmingen uses the building.

The Grimmelhaus is a house named after the patrician Grimmel family in the Upper Swabian town of Memmingen.
In 1485 the house was owned by the patrician Jörg Hutter. At the end of the 15th century it came into the possession of the patrician Besserer family with his daughter.

The mayor of Memmingen, Jörg Besserer, hosted Emperor Maximilian in this house several times, for example in 1518.

Wolf Dietrich Lupin took over the house from the Besserer family, whose family his second wife came from. He is named as the owner in 1565. In 1572 the Grimmelhaus in the Ulm suburb was already supplied with tap water.

The patrician David Grimmel took over the house from the family of his second wife Anna Maria Lupin, daughter of the Memmingen city official Hans Sigmund Lupin, soon after his marriage in 1623. The house remained in their possession until the Memmingen branch of the Grimmel family died out in the second half of the 19th century.
The house is located near the end of Ulmer Straße (Ulmer Straße 19) in the former Ulm suburb. Two houses further north, the suburb ended with the city wall and the Ulm Gate.
It was built in the 15th and 16th centuries and has the pointed arch frieze on consoles typical of old Memmingen houses. The upper floors are cantilevered. The pointed arch portal has a skylight richly decorated with tendrils and a monogram from the first quarter of the 18th century. The door knockers, which date from the beginning of the 18th century, are in the shape of lion heads with snakes and were made of brass in the Grimmel hammer factory.

On the ground floor there is a room with four groined vaults and a central pillar with a simple impost built in around 1500. The stucco ceiling from around 1730 has foliage and bandwork, while the staircase only has simple frame stucco. On the first floor there are seven doors with eared posts. Some of the doors still have the old fittings from around 1730. In a room on the first floor interrupted by a partition wall, the ceiling is stuccoed with tendrils and lattices from the same period. The real wood parquet flooring contains an inlaid rosette. The wooden ceiling with diagonally arranged profile strips was added in the 16th or 17th century....
