This house, built in 1565, now houses the city museum. Until the end of the 18th century, the shooting club was located here.

Today's city museum was built in 1565 as a shooting lodge outside the city gates. Until the late 18th century, it housed the shooting club, whose members practiced target shooting in the open space behind the building. The timber framing with added boards dates from its conversion into a residential building in 1889. Today, the building brings Nürtingen's history to life: traces of Roman antiquity, the development from the late Middle Ages onward, and the history of crafts and industry in the 19th and 20th centuries.
