Since 1130, markets have been permitted in Staffelstein. The corresponding right was granted by King Lothar III to the Georgsbrüder, the capitulars of Bamberg Cathedral. At that time, Staffelstein belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg. The market square was laid out after the great fire of 1684 as it presents itself today, dominated by the Franconian half-timbered masterpiece, the town hall.

The ensemble within the 14th and 15th century fortification ring developed from the earliest mention of the present settlement around 800. The town parish church of St. Kilian was founded centrally within it even before 1007. In 1130, the settlement received market rights, a good 250 years later full jurisdiction. From 1422, the town's fortifications were built. In 1473, the town burned down, including the parish church and the town hall. In the Thirty Years' War, in 1684, almost the entire place fell prey to the flames again. The symbol of the subsequent reconstruction is the town hall from 1686/87. Of particular importance is the cohesive appearance of the buildings, which is shaped by the reconstruction after the town fire of 1684. These typically include two-storey front houses, often with gables facing the street, featuring decorative half-timbering on the upper floor. In addition to wall remnants, the Bamberger Torturm gate tower, dating back to the 16th century in its core, has been preserved from the town's fortifications.

Wirtshaus hat der Tradition folgend geile Krüge hängend hinter dem Tresen, Helles hat ungewohnt bittere Note, schmeckt fast schon woe ein Pils , aber gut. Biergarten vor der Tür , TOP!
