Haus Giebenrath, formerly an inn and bakery, now the Alte Post guesthouse. The baker and innkeeper Heinrich Giebenrath (1853-1939) was the immediate neighbor of the Hesses, who lived at Bischofstraße 4 in the Verlagsvereinshaus from 1886 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1905. Hesse gave the name “Hans Giebenrath” to the main character in his novel “Under the Wheel”; when describing his father´s house, he probably had this house in mind.
