The blue house visible from the Lower Bridge on the banks of the Regnitz River is the Heller House, where Josef Heller, a local historian and art collector from Bamberg, was born and lived. It is considered one of the most beautiful houses in Bamberg's Old Town.
The view of the Heller House from the Lower Bridge is particularly beautiful when the statue of Empress/Saint Kunigunde is included in the foreground.

The estate was first mentioned in 1157 as a mill in the possession of the convent of St. Maria and Theodor (today Carmelite Monastery, Karmelitenplatz 1). In 1438, the mill operation was abandoned again. In 1738, the Schönfärber Joseph Meinhard Heller acquired the estate. In the 19th century, the art writer, collector, and private scholar Joseph Heller (1798–1849) lived and worked here.
