The crow-stepped pilaster gable decorated with vertical bands of tracery and green-glazed bricks is generally considered to provide one of the best examples for medieval brick architecture in any of the old Hanseatic League towns. The overall neo-Gothic treatment of the gable façade ground floor was carried out in the course of alterations by the Greifswald municipal building director M. F. Becherer in 1856. The building itself contains many interesting architectural features, including the original side walls from the 13th century, the roof construction and the half-timbered rear gable from around 1700 as well as a monumental staircase with elaborate figural carving from about 1930. |
