Building styles represent different periods and locales, but rely heavily on the romantic, fairy-tale architecture of Germany. The atmosphere of a biergarten is derived from the 16th-century town of Rothenberg. The Platz (plaza) includes a dynamic sculpture of St. George and the Dragon. The façade of an art and book shop were inspired by the Kanfhans, a 16th-century merchants' hall in Freiburg in the Black Forest. Statues on the building recall the rule of the Hapsburg Emperors. An exterior facade was copied from a 400-year-old town hall in Romsburg Square in Frankfurt. The high wail serving as a backdrop for the showcase wee inspired by the Eltz Castle on the Mosel River and Stahleck Castle on the Rhine.
