Katharinenstraße

Katharinenstraße : The Michelin guide review

On the western side of the street, there are several Baroque houses still standing. The most beautiful is undoubtedly the Romanushaus built between 1701 and 1704 for the burgomaster Franz Conrad Romanus. Having financed the construction of his house with unsecured debenture bonds, he was condemned to 41 years imprisonment. At n° 11, admire the Fregehaus, house of rich banker Christian Gottlob Frege, the Fugger of Leipzig, whose business empire stretched across Europe and over the Atlantic.
