Above the archway is the inscription: "Hans Beutelspacher and Barbara Märthin 1621". The first and second floors feature late medieval timber framing, while the gable displays Renaissance construction. Benedikt Beutelspacher was the town judge. One of his rulings displeased Duke Ulrich, and so in 1537, for alleged perjury, his tongue was cut out and his right hand amputated. He was also forbidden from "leaving the city of Leonberg."

The large building with Alemannic half-timbering near the university's Zehntscheuer dates from the first half of the 15th century. It was inhabited by the Beutelspacher family. Since one member - Benedikt Beutelspacher - made a false statement and perjured himself, he was condemned at the urging of Duke Ulrich to have his tongue cut off and his right hand chopped off in the Stuttgart marketplace in 1537. Later, the large estate was used as an administrative building. Today, a restaurant is housed in the building.
