…that the small lane behind the Pfaffenhaus is called the Höllgasse?

A lot of people think that the name means Hell. They may be forgiven their mistake when one remembers the high flood waters of years gone by. It really was frightful in the alleyways at this time.

But no, the name comes from the old high german word “hell” which translates to mean loud (echoing) or narrow. As you can see both words describe the laneway beautifully.
