Hümplerhof

In spite of looking rather inconspicuous today, this was the “Hümplerhof”, the guild house of the bargees and fishermen from the 14th century until 1671. “Hümpler” were owners of small boats. There were two stables with room for up to 25 boat horses. The Hümplerhof was the only guild house in Miltenberg. In the 18th century the bargees and fishermen formed the biggest guild in town and their guild is also the oldest.
The “Fischergasse” (“fisherman’s alley”) is named for the guild.
