Steuerhaus

The Steuerhaus is an architectural heritage structure in Memmingen located at Marktplatz 16, displaying traditional Bavarian design with an elaborated facade. The building features detailed stonework and ornamental elements that reflect its craftsmanship and historical standing.

The building was shaped by the influence of the Fugger merchant family, who held considerable power in Bavaria during the medieval period. It evolved from a structure dedicated to tax collection into a monument representing urban administrative heritage.

The building takes its name from its former role in tax collection, and this administrative heritage remains visible in its prominent central location. Locals and visitors pass through the surrounding square throughout the day, maintaining the site as a focal point of urban life.

The structure stands at the intersection of multiple streets and is easily reached from Marktplatz, with access points from Fuggergasse and Martin-Luther-Platz. The central location makes it simple to view the building during a walk through the old town.

The building is also known as Fuggerbau and holds the protected monument designation D-7-64-000-202, underlining its status as a safeguarded cultural site. This dual naming reflects the deep connection between the place and the powerful merchant family that shaped the region.
