Einhorn Pharmacy (13)
The building is a long-stretched-out house with a mighty roll gable with several compartments. The Baroque building was erected in two phases on the Gothic foundations of the house burnt down in 1689: the front part of the building dates back to 1720 and the rear third to 1772. In 1984 the house was completely renovated inside and out.
Beck's House (14)
A late Baroque house with a high pointed gable from 1760. In 1908 the building was carefully renovated and shops were built in. Together with the Battiany House, which is in the same row of houses, Beck's house is the most important house of a wealthy citizen in Offenburg. In 1984 another thorough renovation inside and out was carried through.
Jenewein House (15)
A three-storey half timber building from the 19th century. Up to 1896 the building housed the "Fortuna" Hotel, which was well known far beyond the borders of the town. Up to the early 1970s the Jenewein hardware store was located in the "Fortuna" house. In 1977 the house was renovated.
Battiany House (16)
A three-storey patrician house with sgraffito works below the windows. The house was erected in 1793 on behalf of the merchant Anton Billet. In 1840 Joseph Anton Battiany bought the premises.
Neptune's Fountain (17)
In an eight-sided basin foliaged in Gothic style the fountain base rises in the middle, on the column of which stands the statue of Neptune, the god of the sea. The old fountain statue from 1783, which was full of cracks, is now in the Ritterhaus Museum. The present statue is a copy.
War Memorial (18)
erected in 1893 in honour of the victims of the Franco-German War of 1870/71.
Town Hall (19)
Baroque building dating back to 1741. Above the balcony you can see the coat-of arms of the town and the Austrian double-headed eagle under a flat gable.
"Sonne" Hotel (20)
The "Sonne" is said to date back to 1350. After the great fire of 1689 it was reconstructed soon and is thus the oldest still existing hotel in Offenburg. The present appearance of the building dates back to the time after 1830.
Königshof (21)
The former "Königshof" (administration building of the landvogt of the Ortenau) was designed by the Vorarlberg architect Dominik Elmenreich on the basis of the plans of Michael Ludwig Rohrer from Baden-Baden, who built Favorite Palace at Rastatt, from 1714 - 1717.
Ursula Column (22)
donated by Senator Dr. Franz Burda, honorary citizen of Offenburg, and created by the sculptor Emil Sutor (1888 -1974) in 1961. St. Ursula is the patroness of the town. The legend says that she appeared on the town wall in July 1638 to ward off an attack of the troops of Duke Bernhard von Weimar.
Apart from the architectural monuments worth visiting there are several art monuments of famous artists in the town centre/Bürgerpark:
"Dionysos" (23)
(the bronze sculpture of the Greek god of wine)
This statue was made by the Italian painter and sculptor Sandro Chia. A second Chia sculpture - the Roman god of wine "Bacchus" can be seen in the quarter of Fessenbach. Both sculptures were donated to the town in 1984 by the honorary citizen of Offenburg, Senator Dr. Franz Burda.
In 1979 the sculpture
"flying up heron" (9)
was unveiled in the Zwingerpark. This work of art was created by the sculptor Fritz Melis and donated to the town by Dr. Franz Burda.
In 1984 the large sculpture
"Death out of love" (25)
by the Moskow artist Vadim Sidur was erected. The wellknown Russian artist donated the model to the town.
