The first documented mention dates back to 1319. It served as a representation of urban-bourgeois power against the castle and church located at the other end of the market at that time. Over the centuries, the owners of the house changed as frequently as its provisions. Several times in the possession of the Landgraves of Hesse, it was used by them at times as the official residence of the Burgmannen. In the late 15th century, the facade was remodeled in the taste of the Renaissance. Shortly after the Second World War, the rear front collapsed and had to be rebuilt. Today, the house is owned by the city and was gutted and thoroughly renovated in the 1970s.

Today the municipal library is located in the Stone House.
