administration in 1263, after the war between the town and Walter
of Geroldseck; however, the canons did no better and in 1290 the
magistrate of the city was obliged to take back from them the
management of the revenues. The estate and income of the
_[OE]uvre_, employed only for keeping in good order and for
repairing the Cathedral church, are still managed like other
property that belongs to the city; the collector of the revenues
is appointed by the city corporation, who also names the
architect and sculptor of the _[OE]uvre_. The receiver's office
is in a handsome house (_Frauenhaus_), built in 1581, after the
taste of those times, situated opposite the South side of the
Cathedral. In that house, where the old plans of the church and
the pieces of the old clockwork, above mentioned, are carefully
preserved, we have also to admire the light and elegant
construction of the staircase.
