Weberhaus Augsburg, Medieval guild house at Moritzplatz, Augsburg, Germany

The Weberhaus stands as a three-story building with decorated frescoes on its facade, featuring reconstructed paintings from the early 17th century.

Originally established in 1389, the Weberhaus served as a central meeting point for weavers until 1548, when the guild system underwent significant changes.

The building contains one of northern Europe's largest late Gothic image collections, including biblical scenes and Alexander the Great's life stories.

Located at Moritzplatz 2, the structure houses administrative offices and serves as a testament to Augsburg's textile manufacturing heritage.

The barrel vault within the former guild chamber displays extensive medieval artwork, with panels now preserved in the Bavarian National Museum.
