    One of Franconia's most ornate half-timbered buildings is the Königsberg "Clockmaker's House," built in 1733 and occupied for many years by an owner who practiced the watchmaking trade. In 1848, the watchmaker Hofmann was named in a dispute.

    The Baroque portal, with its grooved, profiled arch, features a mighty grotesque head with a protruding forehead in its keystone, much like the wooden sculptures above.

    The sculptural wooden decoration on the half-timbered upper floor is a masterpiece of woodcarving. Not only the grotesque heads are noteworthy, but also the dividing mullions and the columns that define the window openings.
