This is the Baumeister ("master builder") Haus where the man who designed and built the Town Hall lived. It features a famous Renaissance facade with statues of the seven virtues and seven vices.
This is the Councilors' Tavern (the clock tower is from 1466). At the top of every hour the little doors on either side of the clock open and the wooden figures (from 1910) do a reenactment of the Meistertrunk ("Master Draught") story. You can read more about this story here.
