Case Study – Haus zum Sonnenfroh

  • Where the keel knife smith forged not only blades but also bonds of trade stands the ‘Haus zum Sonnenfroh’ – nestled between the retaining wall of St. Martin’s Church and the bustling Rheinsprunggasse. Surrounded by merchants, clergy, and scholars, the neighbourhood became his clientele.
  • Between Münsterplatz and the Rhine bridge, traGic pulsed to the rhythm of the market and the call to prayer. In this lively current, the blacksmith’s realm unfolded. Here, craft, commerce, and community intertwined – a place where the city’s movement took shape.
