Jakobstraße – Historic route shaped by Roman traces and pilgrimage tradition
Walking along Jakobstraße, you are following a path that has led people into the city for centuries. Even in the Middle Ages, it connected important points in the old town and opened up between historic façades, small houses and the view of the archaeological window, which provides insights into earlier eras. Parts of an old Roman road have been uncovered here, which makes the special character of the street palpable. It leads to the market and the town hall, where past and present meet. Jakobstraße seems like a silent narrator, preserving stories of pilgrims, merchants and travellers.
