The two-story bay window on the "Haus zum Pelikan" dates from 1708. The house name "Zum Pelikan" was first mentioned in a document in 1733. The four-story building is now used as a café and residential building. The copper roof is crowned by a golden pelican. He tears open his chest to soak his three young with blood. His nest is formed from a crown of thorns. The bird symbolizes "self-sacrificing charity", the crown of thorns the suffering of Christ.
