The old market, a central location in Lauterach, is about to be redesigned and redesigned. This is the historical core of the Rhine Valley community. The location of the church and cemetery and a close-knit road network are evidence of this.

The reallocation of the L-190 in the 1960s destroyed the old structures of this square. Houses were demolished, central building plots made worthless by triangular cuts and the spatial edges of the area were subjected to the flow of road traffic. Today, this area is rather inhospitable for pedestrians.
