The street is still characterized today by its enormous width compared to conventional streets in the old town area. This is because there used to be a watercourse here. The Fossa Advocati is also known as the "Vogtsgrube" and from 1400 onwards as the "Lause Grube".

Archaeological excavations in advance of the construction work to redesign and redesign the street in 2020 were able to prove this.
Accordingly, there was a wooden sub-fortification on both sides, which can be dated to the middle of the 14th century.

Here you can take the elevator to a platform on the St. George's Church and have a great panoramic view.
