War damage to house on market square

This half-timbered house is located at the Babenhausen market square, directly opposite the town hall. While the town hall was completely destroyed by an air mine in the Second World War, only "little" damage was done to the directly adjacent half-timbered house. At least the wooden frame resisted the destructive effect. Only the compartment marked by the blue arrow was destroyed in its structure. This is still visible today because the wooden beams visible in the other compartments are missing. A small trace of the Second World War that is still visible today.
