Unfortunately is one of the inscriptions rather unreadable. If you can read it or find the text somewhere in a book or an Internet document, please tell me! Thanks a lot in advance!

This new verbalissimo.com page describes the Ulm Leaning House and its inscriptions. This house is less impressioning than the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy but it’s surprising that a hotel can exist in such leaning building. This house is located in the most picturesque quarter of the medieval center of Ulm. For more details, see Leaning House.
