Unter der egg is the extension of Rathausquai and vice versa. The street is changing its name without you noticing it. Unter der egg joins the Hotel des Balances (Weinmarket) until Rathausquai (Kornmarkt). The latter starts just behind the Town Hall and continues to Seebrucke.

In just a few steps, you will have easy access to the Weinmarket Square (previously known as the fish market) known for the Hotel des Balances and the painted houses, the Chapel St.Peter (Peterskapelle) on Kapellplatz and also, the Kornmarkt, with the Town Hall and its tower.
