It was erected in 1320 as a merchant’s house. Surviving elements from the preceding structure go back to the years just after 1300. The two projections, which extend beyond the building line, bay windows referred to as “Utluchten,” date in their present form from the 18th century. After far-reaching restoration, the house is now used by the Cultural History Museum. Visitors can learn about the typical modes of construction of historical buildings in the city. The restoration process connected with extraordinary effort was financed by the German Foundation for Monument Protection (www.denkmalschutz.de). |
