On Linggplatz, the Abbey's old court square (old stone "double cross"), a statue recalls Baden Lieutenant Colonel Johann Baptist Lingg von Linggenfeld, who saved the town from being burnt down by Napoleonic troops in 1807. Beside this lies the marketplace on which patrician houses from Gothic times stand, among them the old mint. They were remodelled in the Renaissance and bear witness, with their gables like the timber-frame houses across the street, to the monastery's last building boom. On the "Neumarkt" ("New Market") stands, besides the other timber-frame houses, the "Linggklause" (Lieutenant Colonel Lingg's dwelling). Here, too, are the old monastery school (nowadays the "Konrad-Duden-Schule") and the Konrad Duden Museum.
