The Pellerhaus on Egidienplatz was built by the merchant Martin Peller between 1602 and 1607. The splendid building remained in the Peller family's hands until 1828, after which it passed through several other owners until it was acquired by furniture maker Johann Adam Eysser. The City of Nuremberg bought the house from Eysser's descendants in 1929, as a location for the City Archives.
