I don't know the beer garden at this location; presumably, it's the terrace of the restaurant on Hahnweide.

The highlight is located at the level crossing of the Teckbahn railway line next to the Hirschgarten beer garden. It's unclear what this means.

A bronze relief of Kirchheim before the town fire of August 3, 1690. A small oversight resulted in a major fire that caused a complete new beginning in the design of the town and its appearance.
