The construction shows the principles of the Renaissance particularly concise in Germany: clear disposition of the components, emphasis on the surface, linear-sharp windows that act as individual elements and not be included in a large overall movement, as later in the baroque. In the design of the ground floor cads, even the Italian models from Florence are clearly visible.
