Canal Street 50 ° 15 ′ 43.8 ″  N , 10 ° 57 ′ 36.1 ″  E
In plans from the late 19th century, a flood canal, which was later filled in, is drawn in place of today's canal road, after which the road was named. It leads south from Bahnhofstraße to Itz and crosses Mohrenstraße .
Kanalstrasse 3 The two-storey house with half-timbered knee floor , brick and sandstone structures in the style of a Swiss house was built in 1891 by Bernhard Brockardt on behalf of the painter Max Oppel. The hipped roof house is characterized by house dormers and three gable gables with crooked hipped roofs and especially by the half-timbered knee stock. The three-axis, two-storey bay window with pilasters on the south side sets a special accent. A two-axis corner projection is added on the street side. The decorative paintings in the form of fine, multicolored fruit motifs and cartouches on the knee and in the gable are remarkable and extraordinary. Coburg-Kanalstr5.jpg

Kanonenweg 50 ° 16 ′ 2.6 ″  N , 10 ° 57 ′ 40.9 ″  E
The Kanonenweg leads from the so-called Thuringian Cross ( Kasernenstrasse / Rodacher Strasse / Neustadter Strasse ) to the intersection of Lossaustrasse and Callenberger Strasse. For military reasons, it was laid out outside the urban development in 1812 and, together with the Neuer Weg, formed the link between Ketschenbrücke and Kasernenstrasse . In this way , explosive ammunition loads and cannons could be relocated to the northeast without endangering the city's population. Until the 1970s, convoys with tanks drove regularly on the then cobbled Kanonenweg from the loading point in the freight yard to the barracks on Lauterer Straße . From 1824 residential and industrial development began on Kanonenweg .
Kanonenweg 4
Kino Kali
In 1875 the left eaves part of the building was built as a residential building, in 1881 the right gable part was added as a restaurant Zum Paradies and in 1911 renamed Gastwirtschaft Germania . In 1910 the gable was raised and in 1913 master mason Christoph Kürschner added the attractive Art Nouveau relief of the Fall of Man to the facade. Between the wide central windows stands a tree with an almost right-angled outline, around the trunk of which a snake is winding trying to pick an apple. After the Second World War, the KALI chamber light plays established themselves in the left part of the building, and have functioned as a sex cinema since the 1970s. In line with this, the restaurant in the main building was named Fruchtbar . In 1990 a facade renovation was carried out, in which the stucco on the facade was renewed. Coburg-Kanonenweg4.jpg
Kanonenweg 7 The merchant Joseph Freund had this house built in 1881 in a neo-Romanesque-Gothic mixed style. The eaves gable roof house shows a three-axis central projection with narrow window spacing and a three-axis dwelling with triangular gable and balcony porch on the ground floor. Stairs lead to the entrance on the left gable side. The garden areas and the wrought iron fence from the time it was built are essential for the effect of the house. Coburg-Kanonenweg7.jpg
Kanonenweg 13 Similar to house no. 7, Martin Renner built the two-story house with a loft as a brick building with sandstone sections for master baker Hermann Bischoff. The gable roof house has no corner borders. The high-set volute capitals in the four-axis facade preserve strict symmetry, with double windows forming the inner axes. The fence of the front garden with an arched end comes from the time when the house was formerly surrounded by a garden. Coburg-Kanonenweg13.jpg
Kanonenweg 25
employment office
The three-part complex of the Coburg employment office (later the employment agency , job center ) was designed by the Nuremberg Tax Building Authority and built between 1954 and 1956. The fifteen-axis main wing, which lies far behind the building line of the Kanonenweg, has a stairwell structured by large, three-axis windows. If the main building is four-story throughout, the right-angled south wing has only three floors and the hall building on the north side, divided by concrete supports, has two. A protruding, very flat hipped roof covers the entire building. Some equipment details from the time of construction have been preserved: On the outside of the porch, a mural made of steel rods, the oval curved staircase with double supports and diagonally divided railing, and a mural in the entrance area. The overall ensemble from the time it was built also includes a gatehouse in the Raststraße and a bicycle shelter with a curved roof. Coburg-Kanonenweg25.jpg
Kanonenweg 50/52 The street side of the three-storey eaves-sided double house, which Otto Leheis built in 1902/03, is based on the forms of the English Gothic. The hipped roof construction is characterized by a few additions, such as a three-sided bay window on the right under a projecting gable on the second half-timbered upper floor, on the left a two-axis risalit with a gable roof and behind the left corner a polygonal bay window that rests on a column base. The entrance to the left part of the house is behind the bay window in a built-in stairwell with a pent roof. The windows on the ground floor and first floor are combined into strips by vertical frames, with arched ends emphasizing the upper windows. On the second floor there is a round-arched thermal bath window in the risalit as well as simple rectangular windows in the exposed half-timbering. The entrance to the right part of the house is framed in a neo-Gothic style. Above the entrance there is a gable with a fan framework and a crooked hip roof . Coburg-Kanonenweg50.jpg

Karlstrasse

He named the connection between his brickworks at Kasernenstrasse 13 and Blumenstrasse , which the brickworks owner Conrad Leckert built as a private road around 1900 , after his son Carl. In 1960 the city of Coburg took over Carlstrasse and changed the original spelling to Karlstrasse .
Karlstrasse 2/4 The brick factory owner Conrad Leckert had Friedrich Kürschner build this two-storey semi-detached house with rococo decor in 1902 . The facade of the hipped roof house is strictly symmetrical. In the middle of the house rises above a flat ground floor projecting a two-axis bay window with a curved gable, which is decorated with a stucco relief in which two putti floating in clouds with a garland of flowers and a torch can be seen. The bay foot bears a volute console and a cartouche with a bust. Similar gables complete the two same corner projections, but the shell on the right is missing. A circumferential profile cornice separates the two floors. The windows are designed differently on the floors. In the risalits, the upper floor windows have lintel profiles and stuccoed attachments. The double arched windows of the gable show pearl motifs. The house entrances are on the sides of the semi-detached house in arched closed dwarf projections. On the right, a cartouche bears the owner's initials. Coburg-Karlstr2.jpg

Kasernenstrasse

Kasernenstrasse 50 ° 16 ′ 1.2 ″  N , 10 ° 57 ′ 55 ″  E
The Barracks Road is the extension of the axis Steinweg / Heiligkreuzstraße north. Its course corresponds to the old trade route that led from Coburg into the Thuringian Forest . Kasernenstrasse is still referred to as Holy Cross in the original cadastre . The name change took place in 1875 after the barracks built in 1850 at the beginning of Neustadter Strasse dominated the northern streetscape.
Kasernenstrasse 13 The first development of the area between later Blumenstrasse, Karlstrasse and Kasernenstrasse already existed in the 15th century; In the oldest city book from 1434, a brickworks is mentioned here, which is also shown along with the house in the first city map from 1743. The construction of a new brick factory next to the old one, which was demolished shortly afterwards (before 1880), is documented in 1850. In 1886, the owner of the brickworks, Conrad Leckert, also had the old house abandoned. By Carl Kleemann was born in 1901 then the two-storey house with traufständige hipped roof and a three-axis central projection with dormer and Schopfwalmgiebel to Kasernenstraße. The windows on the ground floor and first floor are consistently segment-arched, those in the attic area are rounded-arched. A circumferential horizontal cornice above the ground floor divides the three-axis building into five-axis. The ornamentation of the two-tone clinker building shows borrowings from the neo-Romanesque style , which can be easily recognized by the stepped triple windows of the dwelling and the rows of blind arches in the gable fields. The house entrance is in the middle of the street on the side. The garden side is more simple and has irregular windows. Coburg-Kasernenstr13.jpg
Kasernenstraße 14
formerly
light bulb factory Hellum
In 1697, across from the old brickworks (see Kasernenstrasse 13), the Ducal Brickworks was built , which was acquired by Kommerzienrat A. Forkel in 1872 and demolished. The factory building of the mechanical weaving mill JPM Forkel was rebuilt on the street by master carpenter Ernst Wöhner , the facade of which was given forms of neo-baroque art nouveau under the new owner, Kommerzienrat Max Frommann in 1907. If the business and storage rooms were located in this representative building, the actual weaving mill with its noisy looms was housed in an elongated, flat rear building. The entire factory premises passed to the metal goods manufacturer Hans Jahn in 1935/38. From 1946 to 1956 the company was operated under the name Metallwaren-Glühlampenfabrik Hans Jahn , then under the name Hellum-Glühlampenwerk Hans Jahn . After production was discontinued, all the factory buildings at the rear were demolished in 1984 and, in the following three years, a ground-floor self-service market was added behind the front building and rebuilt again. Here, the ground floor middle wing was completely gutted, a steel construction was put in and offices were set up on all floors, which were connected by spiral stairs in 1990 . In 1994/95 the facade was renovated. The two-storey, nineteen-axis mansard hipped roof building is divided into two wings by a five-axis central projection with a two-storey dwarf house, each of which is closed off by a polygonal corner bay on a risalit-like projection. In the third axis, both wings have covered, neo-baroque decorated column portals. In the left wing there are also two shops with door-window combinations. Windows and portals on the ground floor are round-arched, in the area of ​​the central projection they are basket-arched. The windows of the upper floor and the bay window have a stuccoed framing with indicated wedge stones, those of the dwarf risalit Lisenen . On the street side, four dormers are inserted into the attics of both wings of the building, and two into each of the three-axis narrow sides. The back of the building is also divided by a central projection, but without a dwelling. The entire building gives the impression of a palace annex rather than industrial architecture and is one of the most important industrial monuments in Coburg. Coburg-Kasernenstr14.jpg
Kasernenstrasse 15 The mansard roof house with corner bay window, located at the confluence of the street Karlstrasse / Kasernenstrasse, has its main side facing Karlstrasse and the significantly narrower side facing Kasernenstrasse. Built in 1901 by Carl Kleemann , the two-storey house has a rich facade decor in the shapes of the 18th century. The outer double axes of the two sides of the show protrude like a risk. The arrangement of the windows, alternating as pairs and individual windows, is idiosyncratic. This is brought about on the long side by the location of the middle entrance and the staircase and consistently continued on the narrow side. The windows and doors of the rusticated ground floor are closed off by segmental arches and wedge stones with mascarons . Special features of the upper floor are fluted ionizing pilasters that frame risalites and bay windows, as well as a double band of waves and spiral branches that form the upper end of the mansard roof. In the upper floor windows, the blinds from the time of construction have been preserved, which have a major impact on the impression of the house. The corner bay window, which rises to the full height of the roof, is dominated by an arched window in the attic. The end of the bay is formed by an opposing volute of leaves. Just like the windows on the floors below, the standing dormers with triangular and segmented arched gables are arranged in the slated attic. Coburg-Kasernenstr15.jpg

Ketschendorfer Strasse

Ketschendorfer Strasse 50 ° 14 ′ 50 ″  N , 10 ° 58 ′ 16.2 ″  E
In 1746, Duke Ernst Friedrich had the path from the Ketschentor to the Ketschendorf to the south expanded to make it flood-proof. The rose garden connects to the northeast as a public park. On the side of Ketschendorfer Straße opposite the park there is a loose development with historicist villas. To the south-west behind it lies the Ketschenanger , which was previously used as a bleaching meadow and cow pasture and from the middle of the 19th century as a festival, gymnastics and shooting range , today it is a large car park when there are no events.
Ketschendorfer Strasse no. Opposite house number 48 there is a semicircular closed, heavily weathered stone in front of the fence, which was long regarded as a kilometer stone from the middle of the 19th century . The shape, which is atypical for a kilometer stone, the introduction of metric dimensions only in 1869 and the lack of any reference to a lettering speak against this interpretation . It will also not have served as a boundary stone, as it is only worked on one side and the usual boundary line is missing on the top. On the front of the stone there is a flat semicircular indentation. A triangular outline can be clearly seen in it, reminiscent of a baroque, seated Madonna with child and scepter. The stone could be the upper part of a stone wayside shrine from the 18th / 19th centuries. Century, whose column is no longer there. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr.jpg
Ketschendorfer Straße 1
Regional and District Court
The new judicial building for the district and district court of Coburg was built in 1953/54 according to plans by the Sauer government building council. It is considered to be the best preserved Coburg building from this era. The three-part assembly consists of a four-storey block building to the east, which serves primarily as an administration building, a two-storey atrium house, the meeting building, and a two-storey, three-axis building with the main entrance as a connecting wing. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr1.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 1 Behind house no. 1 there is a late classicist basement entrance from the middle of the 19th century in a small park. The entrance is framed by two pilasters and a fascinating arched arch. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr1a.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 2
Villa Victoria
Peter Gieck had the free-standing two-story Biedermeier house built in 1835 . The street side of the almost classical acting through its block-like building with seven window axes is a triaxial risalit and a ground-floor, divided by pilasters porch with balconies loosened. A tooth cut moves the eaves. Before 1892, the original flat hipped roof was raised and the risalit was expanded to include a dwarf house with a triangular gable, since 1919 flanked by recessed dormers. A year earlier, a roof bay window with two dormers was put on the back and a cellar was created next to the house. In 1919 the basement of the house was made. In the house, the stairwell with its paneling, the banisters and posts, some apartment doors with skylights and corridor windows with old glazing have been preserved as historical details. In 2013 the building was renovated and converted into the Hotel Villa Victoria. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr2-1.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 4 The two-wing two-storey Biedermeiereckhaus on Ahorner Straße was built in 1827/28 on a building site given to the district court director Georg Ottilius Schnür by the magistrate's master mason Johann Andreas Meyer. The seven-axis long side is emphasized in the middle by the portal. Instead of the usual horizontal division of floors, stuccoed aprons with festoons , in the middle with a wreath, appear between the window strips on the ground floor and upper floor, the windows of which are additionally emphasized by lintels. The three-axis, hipped dwarf house on the long side is dominant. The four-axle narrow side facing Ahorner Strasse is designed similarly to it. The roof is divided here by three standing dormers, which were added during roof conversions in 1969/70 and 1988. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr4.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 5 In 1900 Otto Leheis built a representative villa on a hillside on a large park plot for Gustav Scheibe. northwest of the Marienberg. The house had two floors, a tower-like structure and hipped roofs. In 1934, the new owner, drugstore owner Paul Menzel, had the roofs and tower demolished by the construction company Bernhard Brockardt and the building was raised by a mansard roof. As a result of this renovation, the historicist building elements, made of bricks with sandstone elements, contrast with their Gothic motifs such as the jagged lintel profiles of the windows on the ground floor and first floor with the mansard roof, a typical form of the late Baroque. Due to the hillside location, the villa appears to be three-storey, as the basement downwards acts as a full storey and the ground floor acts as a raised ground floor. In order to make it recognizable as the main floor, the window crowns on the ground floor are strongly emphasized. A central projection protrudes on the west side, with a three-sided bay window in front of it on the two lower floors. In the risalit, the windows on the second floor are arched with a straight roof. Above it rises a dwelling with a triangular gable. A strong risalit emphasizes the right half of the south side. Instead of a dwelling, the mansard roof, which is covered all around with standing dormers, also protrudes. The northern side of the house is laid out in three axes with a middle pair of windows on the second floor, to which a small half-timbered bay adjoins on the left. The entrance is on the eastern rear of the building in a closed corner arbor. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr5.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 6 The row of Biedermeier houses on the other side of the Ketschentor is continued by the two-storey hipped roof house, which was built in 1836 for the doctor Dr. Carl Berger was built. The house has an L-shaped floor plan, with the street-side facade being completely regularly structured by seven window axes and a central entrance as well as a balcony on pairs of consoles. In 1899 the privateer Emil Appel had the roof extended by Otto Leheis. Leheis took the centralizing structure into account by adding a two-axis dwelling that is flanked by two standing dormers. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr6.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 8 The fourth and last of the Biedermeier houses built around the same time is the two-storey eaves, built in 1837/38 by Friedrich Streib for the carpenter Georg Samuel Eckardt at the intersection of Ketschendorfer Strasse, Schützenstrasse and Berliner Platz. The strikingly large house is divided by seven to eight window axes. On the longer side, as with the neighboring house, there is a console-supported balcony over the entrance, which has moved from the center to the left, with a double platform staircase in front of it. A profiled cornice runs around the house between the ground floor, which stands on an unplastered basement, and the upper floor. To the south, in the course of the roof extension for lawyer Emil Sartorius, an existing hipped dwarf house was extended from two to four axes and a row of six standing dormers was added to the roof to the east and west. The house was rebuilt and modernized in 1981/82. A window and facade renovation took place in 1995, whereby the special effect of the house was retained through shutters and eight-part lattice windows. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr8.jpg
Ketschendorfer Straße 11
Villa Wunderlich
Originally the property on which the villa, which was probably built by Max Frommann for the privateer Wilhelm Wunderlich in 1891, is located, encompassed the entire southern spur of the Marienberg up to house number 23, where the main garden portal is still located today. The current access to the villa is via Hohe Straße . Almost nothing has been preserved of the park, which was laid out as an English garden , and its system of paths. In order to do justice to the exposed location, the architect designed a multi-part brick building with sandstone structures in the forms of the neo-renaissance . The main body of the hipped roof building facing the slope rests on a basement, which acts as a full floor due to the slope, making the ground floor the mezzanine floor. A five-sided bay window with arbor is in front of the right-hand side of the valley-side façade , while the left half occupies a risalit, the hipped roof of which overlooks a dwarf house with a two-tiered ornamental gable. Ornamental gables of this type with pronounced ornamentation made of ribbons, hermen pilasters , fittings, volute braces and pyramids stand on all sides of the house. While the basement at the edges of a Rustika is enclosed, above all sides form Eckverquaderungen in tooth-sectional shape and smooth bands the framing of the divided by a Profilgesims projectiles. The entrance to the house is at the foot of the staircase tower on the left, which ends with a bell roof with a double, pointed onion lantern. A wood-clad three-axis winter garden with arbor stands on square plinths next to the slope-side risalit. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr11.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 18 The neo - baroque two - storey house built in brick with sandstone structures in 1889 stands with its side without a front garden directly on the street, as the house entrance is on this side with its four window axes. The main facade faces the southern garden side, on which, slightly shifted from the central axis, a three-axis risalit protrudes like a tower and towers over the mansard roof of the house with its capped hipped roof. Drilled windows with vaults over the parapets stand on the ground floor of the risalit, to the left of them a group of window doors divided by mirror pilasters, which form the garden access with a seven-step staircase. The first floor of the risalit shows a group of windows structured by pilasters, which is covered by a segmented horseshoe arch and whose bench rests on consoles. To the left of the risalit there are three arched windows with wedge stones and dividing columns under a continuous architrave . The vertical is emphasized by profiled parapet pilasters despite the strong cornices. Corner pilasters with rich entablature connect the first and second floors of the risalit, which are intended as an attic , with strong frames surrounding the three upper windows. A decorative gable with a highly oval ox-eye emphasizes the central axis of the facade. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr18.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 20 The two-storey villa was built around 1850. The building has a sloping pyramid roof. Some of the construction equipment is still available. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr20.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 23 At the driveway to house no.23 there is a garden portal that originally formed the entrance to the park of house no.11 (Villa Wunderlich). When the large property was divided into several building plots in 1937, the portal remained in its original place. The garden portal, designed by Hans Münscher in 1907, consists of two pillars banded with mirror blocks and carrying cover plates profiled with echinus , abacus and rising carnies . The three-part wrought iron gate can be opened completely for passages, while the single-leaf middle door is intended for pedestrians. The lower half of the gate is covered with mirror sheet metal, the upper half is divided by vertical rods supported by volutes. The curved attachments of the two side wings consist of double volute clasps, the higher attachment of the middle door consists of opposing C-clasp pairs, which are closed at the top by a flower bud. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr23.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 30
St. Nikolaus
The Nikolauskapelle was built in 1442 on the way from Coburg to Ketschendorf next to an infirmary and consecrated to St. Nicholas of Myra . In the years 1649/50, the roof structure was repaired and the building was made Baroque by installing a new altar and a wooden coffered ceiling. 1706 was applied to the high pitched roof , a roof turret fitted with welscher hood. As part of its use as a synagogue, the women's gallery was expanded in 1876 and, in 1910, according to plans by the Coburg city architect Max Böhme, it was also made accessible through a covered external staircase. In addition, a massive five-sided extension was created as a vestibule. The chapel has a hall and a six-sided chancel with three pointed arched windows. The interior consists of an octagonal, baroque baptismal font and late Gothic frescoes in the choir , discovered in 1947 . Over the centuries the chapel was used as a place of worship by four Christian denominations and the Jewish community. It has been an Old Catholic Church since 1962 . Coburg-Nikolauskapelle1.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 44 The following line of representative apartment buildings with house numbers 44 to 52 forms a small ensemble that was built in 1904/05. The builder of house No. 44 with half-timbering and historicizing decor was the manufacturer Joseph Fritz, architect Paul Schaarschmidt . The long hall of the wicker factory Rüping & Fritz (house no. 46) originally stood behind the house. Around 1916 the property changed to Metallwerk Haussknecht & Co., since 1920 it has belonged to Metallwerk Max Brose & Co., today Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH . The two-storey half-hipped roof construction on the eaves side shows a mixed construction of plastered masonry and open framework. The right front of the street is dominated by a half-timbered half-timbered house with a three-sided bay window and ornamental gable. The ground floor of the dwelling is dominated by two large arched windows, divided by squat columns, which are framed by plaster cutouts. The left half of the facade has a closed half-timbered arbor over two curtain windows, also framed by plaster cutouts. The entrance to the house is on the right-hand side of the gable. The central stairwell there is removed from the half-timbered construction of the gable and is illuminated by two large windows. The left side of the gable is characterized by windows with rustic frames and corresponding dividing posts. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr44.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 48 Building trade master Hans Münscher built the three-storey gable-roof house on his property in 1904 as a residential and commercial building with a locksmith's workshop behind. Formally, it was based on neo-Gothic and English cottages . While the ground floor and first floor are solid construction, in which corner cuboids are formed by plaster recesses, the second floor and the gable impress with richly carved half-timbered forms. The right half of the facade is emphasized by a bay window with a half-timbered upper storey and a curved branch gable. The neo-Gothic shapes are easy to recognize: a battlement crown surrounds the ground floor with three coupled arched windows, followed by a three-part window group. On the second floor there is a four-part pointed arch window in the framework. The rich parapet carving is striking. On the left-hand side, the bay window is followed by a terrace, above which balconies are attached on each floor. The far overhanging gable roof is interrupted by six dormers. A clapboard dwelling with a triangular gable protrudes over the right eaves of the house. In 1991 the facade was renovated and in 2001 remodeling work was carried out on all floors. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr48.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 50 The three-storey hipped roof building at the confluence of Haußmannstrasse and Ketschendorfer Strasse was also designed by Hans Münscher. Due to the design of its façades and the annex buildings, the building looks like a double house and adapts to the opposite double house from the same client. Completed in 1905, the "Püls Bräu" restaurant was located on the ground floor, for which the windows facing Ketschendorfer Strasse were enlarged in 1956, those on Haußmannstrasse were lead-glazed and the guest room was remodeled. A change of use to offices in 1999 meant considerable renovations on all floors and renewed enlargement of the windows. The house facing the Ketschendorfer Straße eaves is divided here by two three-sided protruding corner projections. The upper floor of the right risalit is made of timber. Above this, a moving gable steps back clearly behind the eaves edge. The left risalit is also three-story, but without half-timbering and gable. It is covered with a halved French hood made of sheet copper. The fronts of both risalites are biaxial, their sloping sides uniaxial. The intermediate wall surface is divided into two axes with a curved dormer as a conclusion over the eaves edge. The upper floors of the narrow side facing Haußmannstrasse are, apart from a risalit-like protruding porch with half-timbered gable, without windows. The house entrance is on the back. Coburg-Ketschendorferstr50.jpg
Ketschendorfer Strasse 52 The three-storey apartment building in Art Nouveau style built in 1905 by Hans Münscher opposite No. 50 forms a semi-detached house with the corner building on Haussmannstrasse 1, completed in 1906. Even if the floor plans of houses 50 and 52/1 are similar, they show very different architectural forms. At no. 52, the main weight of the facade is through a gable on the left. Above the massive ground floor and first floor, the second floor and the dwelling continue as half-timbered constructions in the traditional grid system of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. On the left-hand side of the ground floor there is a risalit with a sloping square edging and a small hipped roof. The risalit has a group of three windows flanked by inward-facing mascarons. On the first floor there is a weak, arched bay window with three rectangular windows on the left and a large arched window on the right. The bay window on the second floor carries a pent roof covered blind dome with wooden balustrade, behind it another large basket arched window. To the right of it, at the same height, a group of three of two rectangular windows and one slightly elevated one with a segmented arch. At the rear, both semi-detached houses are presented with parallel, symmetrically structured forepiped wings. The half-timbered gable surface of house No. 52 is clapboard. The courtyard side has a staircase risalit in the middle with a branch gable supported by two tiered rustic arches. The original staircase has been preserved. In 1988 the windows on the upper floors were renewed and in 1997 the facade was renovated. Coburg-Haussmannstr1.jpg

From the market square to the Ketschentor , Ketschengasse arches southwards. It is the northern section of the Markt / Ketschendorf transport axis, which was important in the Middle Ages . Between Markt and Ketschengasse 26, where the Inner Ketschentor formerly stood, the development consists of four-storey houses on the eaves. The following southern section was originally low and loosely built up and belonged to the Ketschenvorstadt with the Säumarktbrunnen as its core. The mostly three-story houses in front of the Outer Ketschentor, which was redesigned in 1828, date from the 18th and 19th centuries. Century.

The row of houses on Ketschengasse jumps back a few meters at houses 13 and 15, creating a small square. The fountain standing here was first mentioned in 1395 in connection with house no. 13, which indicates an early market function of this street section. The current fountain dates from the 17th century. The well stock consisting of a short three-quarter round column drum stands behind the round well basin with a bulging rim. The stock, which appears as a multi-segmented pillar, is supported on the side by two volute supports on a square plinth . The stick is continued above a profiled plate with a pyramid attachment with a capped tip. A lion with the Coburg coat of arms sits on the last cover plate. Thus, the lion fountain facing Ketschengasse is to be understood as the emblem of the city of Coburg. Coburg-Ketschengasse13-Brunnen.jpg
Ketschengasse no.
Säumarktbrunnen
At the confluence with Kuhgasse, Ketschengasse widens like a marketplace. The Säumarktbrunnen has stood here since 1800 , a reference to the pig market that has been taking place here since around 1860, previously a little further north on Albertsplatz. In the fountain basin with its eight mirrored walls and profiled edging stands a classicist obelisk in the middle . Its fluted base, the mirrors of which bear wreaths, is rectangular. The well tube protrudes to the south. On the sides of the obelisk, heraldic tones are attached as decoration , including the Coburg Mohr. Coburg-Saeumarktbrunnen.jpg
Ketschengasse 1 The beginning of Ketschengasse is marked by the four-story eaves-sided house with a gable roof, which protrudes from the building line by the depth of a window axis. Built around 1600 at the latest, the narrow house, divided into three pairs of windows, belonged to the chancellery Carl Christian Link and his daughter Sabina Katharina around 1780/90. Between 1802 and 1806 the Catholic community held their prayer hours in this house, which now belonged to the merchants Johann Caspar and Johannes Zangerle. A historical, figurative stucco ceiling, which was renewed in 1988, has been preserved on the third floor, which is a half-timbered structure. The slated dwelling was built in the 18th or 19th century. In 1926, major renovations were carried out on the ground floor to expand the shop, with the shop window being enlarged and finally dismantled again in 1991 to become a shop entrance.

In the rear courtyard, four-story open wooden arbors flank the sides. The back of the courtyard forms the back of the house at Kirchgasse 8. The courtyard ensemble was renovated in 1986 after a mediaeval fountain had been discovered there a year earlier.

Coburg-Ketschengasse-1.jpg
Ketschengasse 3 In 1700, the house in the same building line as No. 1 was described as an old building with four floors, four rooms, a cellar and a stable. At that time it belonged to Andreas Österreicher, who was vice rector at the council school from 1611 to 1624 and then its rector. The eaves gable roof house with three plastered half-timbered floors above a massive ground floor is structured by five-part window groups. The ground floor, which is banded in the base, is set off by a stronger profile cornice. It is characterized by two arches, a house entrance with narrower profiled round arches and a wider basket-arched shop window. Behind the house is a small inner courtyard that is surrounded on all sides. In 1881, master pewter Ferdinand Bagge had the attic expanded, and in 1906 the shop was enlarged. One of the inner walls was moved to the left, which disturbed the original symmetry of the entrances. The cross vault in the shop was also removed during the renovation. In 1983 the windows were renewed and the facade was renovated. Coburg-Ketschengasse3.jpg
Ketschengasse 5 This four-storey hipped roof house, built around 1700, protrudes clearly from the building line, like the neighboring houses up to No. 13. In 1700 the building is described as a new house, a tavern and had baking justice, which indicates that it was built shortly before. It was probably the Zur Traube inn owned by Johann Christoph Brenner. A renovation in 1889 greatly changed the four-storey, half-timbered hipped roof house with a massive ground floor, in which the Ratskeller wine restaurant was now located. Another renovation in 1928 enlarged the restaurant again. In 1958 a coffee shop moved in. The three upper floors are divided into six axes with windows that have equal rights throughout. Only the corner windows on the left narrow side are slightly offset in height. A stucco ceiling is preserved on the first floor, which was restored on the occasion of a modernization carried out in 1990/91.

The inner courtyard is delimited at the side by two narrow four-storey arbor wings with baluster columns, rounded corners and a straight lintel, and at the rear a four-storey building with a gable roof. During the restoration of the court ensemble in 1990/91, later fixtures were removed.

Mint Master's House
The Münzmeisterhaus is one of the most important town houses in Coburg. The half-timbered building was built in 1444 as a three-storey house of the mint master, called "von Rosenau". In the 19th century the building was used by the Alexandrine School. Since then, there have been two shops on the ground floor and a total of three apartments on the upper floors and later also on the top floor. The representative eaves side house has a massive ground floor made of sandstone blocks, which is divided by six arcs in Ketschengasse. The house entrance and passage to the inner courtyard are in the middle, on the right a gate passage to Neugasse. The protruding facade of the two upper floors has ten window axes. It is a timber frame construction, which stands on floor-by-floor beam heads with lugs and in the inner four fields consists of stands with St. Andrew's crosses . In the 18th century, the gable roof was given two two-axle hipped dormers in addition to small dormers in Ketschengasse . Coburg-Muenzmeisterhaus1.jpg
Ketschengasse 9 As the core of the rear building shows, what is probably a medieval eaves side house with a mansard roof was extended to three floors by a member of the Staude soap boiler family in 1775. The building shows a design typical for the time it was built: above the ground floor with central access and side shop windows, the two upper floors are divided by six axes. The protruding superstructure on the massive ground floor suggests a plastered framework construction. The three standing dormers in the attic come from the more recent building history of the house. In 1862 a shop with arched shop windows and a shop entrance was set up on the ground floor, in 1870 a bakery was set up on the ground floor on the left and the shop was enlarged into a dining room for the master baker and brewer Martin Schuster.

In 1875 a second shop window was installed, in 1881 a locksmith's workshop in the rear building, to which the bakery's bakery was relocated in 1903. In 1933 the first floor facade was clad with light granite and finally in 1938 the entire first floor was converted into a café. A massive inner wall was broken through and supports were drawn in to support the right cross vault. In 1975 a wooden partition was installed between the bakery and the café.

The type of construction of the rear building speaks in favor of an originally independent house. A stone building with a cellar adjoins the stairwell. It could be a former bower . The appearance of the three-storey half-timbered house with its three-axis central projection, the original dwelling of which is missing today, suggests a redesign in the 18th or 19th century in which the window axes to the right of the central projection were walled up. In 1996 and 2001 the rear building was modernized and the window front renewed.

Coburg-Ketschengasse9.jpg
Ketschengasse 11 Originally, the construction of a keystone from 1591, was the restaurant Zur Krone , later on to the three crowns . In 1865 Paul Gehrlicher completely redesigned the house for the master trimmers Gottlieb Stupe, with the two-storey, gable-topped house being converted into a three-storey hipped roof building. Instead of the restaurant he set up a shop, moved the hallway from the middle to the left side of the house and created four shop windows with round arches.

The house protrudes around a window axis and thus forms the northern boundary of the square-like extension of Ketschengasse in front of houses 13 and 15. During renovations in 1978, the shop windows were moved inwards, whereby the pillars with the profiled arched openings formed today's pedestrian passage. The ground floor is offset from the first floor by a tooth cut . The windows sit directly on a continuous parapet zone. Corner adapters combine the two upper floors. On the second floor, the window parapets carry festoons , which are combined to form a pair with a central wreath. A standing dormer, which clearly recedes behind the eaves, completes the facade.

Coburg-Ketschengasse11.jpg
Ketschengasse 13 As early as 1395, a Cuncz Ryter was named as the owner of the late medieval house . The setback of the row of houses at No. 13 and 15 is striking, which expands Ketschengasse to a small square, which is emphasized by the fountain here. The eaves side house with a saddle roof, which was raised from two to four storeys in the 18th century, consists of a plastered half-timbered construction on the second floor. The facade, divided into two and four axes, is dominated by the arched openings on the ground floor. In 1907 a portal frame with a profiled basket arch was placed on Doric warriors in the middle of the house. Coburg-Ketschengasse13.jpg
Ketschengasse 15 House No. 15, built in 1522, was originally only two-story and only half as deep as it is today. In 1556 the building's depth was doubled. In 1614, the tailor Hans Fischer had the half-timbered house that was then gable-free. The half-timbered walls were replaced by massive ones and the house was increased to three floors. In 1919 a shop with a round-arched access door was built in on the ground floor and in 1921 the top floor was extended to a full floor, whereby the eaves were raised by one floor while maintaining the ridge height. During renovation work in 1991, a large round arched two-winged seating niche portal with whet grooves was exposed. On the three upper floors, the windows are arranged as a group of three and a single window, which are linked together by common parapet cornices. The former eaves molding above the second floor has formed a strongly profiled cornice since the addition. Coburg-Ketschengasse15.jpg
Ketschengasse 17 Like its neighbors nos. 19 and 21, the house, which is gabled, completes the square-like extension of Ketschengasse to the south. The front building was built in 1398, the rear building in 1521. In 1846, when a shop was built for the Gotthold Bahmann jeweler, the windows on all floors were relocated. In 1885 the shop was enlarged, with the basement staircase being built in place of the house staircase. In 1911 the floor of the shop was lowered and a window display was built in. The facade is divided into three groups of two windows, with a continuous parapet cornice on the first floor. In 1959 the shop was enlarged again and the floor was lowered. The rear building from 1521 was converted into three apartments in 1998. The building was renovated in 2019. Coburg-Ketschengasse-17.jpg
Ketschengasse 19 Of the original property with front and rear buildings from the 17th century, only the street-side part of the front building has been standing since 1993. The half-timbered house on a solid ground floor was described in 1730 as a central building with three floors, three rooms, a vault, a cellar and a stable owned by the nadler and brewer Johann Andreas Adami . In the first half of the 19th century, as with the neighboring houses, the facade was redesigned in a classical style. On the ground floor there is a shop with a basket arched portal with a wedge . Coburg-Ketschengasse19.jpg
Ketschengasse 21 The year of construction of this three-storey gabled house is indicated in the arch of the portal framed by pilasters on the left as 1825. The house is a plastered half-timbered construction over a massive ground floor. A shop fitting is attached to the right of the two-wing portal. The court attorney Johann Friedrich Schemel, who soon sold the property with the rear building to the master builder Wilhelm Friedrich Mauer, was the client of the new building. A continuous profile lintel on the first floor unites the four windows into a group. In the gable field above the second floor there is a segmented arched window that loosens the strict effect of the facade. In 1925 the shop received a larger shop window with its own shop door, which was renewed again in 1971. Coburg-Ketschengasse21.jpg
Ketschengasse 22 The office building, built in 1905 by August Berger based on plans by Carl Kleemann , served together with the neighboring house 24 of the C. Großmann slaughterhouse until 1998 as a production facility with a sales room. Each of the four floors connected by a spiral staircase in the rear area consisted of only one large room. The Art Nouveau facade of the house stands out from the predominantly late baroque and classical neighborhood. The house on the eaves, with its geometric shapes and strict symmetry on the upper floors, emphasizes the height of the building. The windows on the two upper floors are joined to form strips by large arched panels. The three window axes are loosened up by triglyphs that extend into the lower window zone and by a wave profile. A three-axis shifted to the right Zwerchhaus with curved gable line and a lower extension with radial and angular windows stands in the roof zone, the symmetry of the facade deliberately. Originally, the ground floor was characterized by two arched openings that formed the shop window and entrance to the shop. In 1961 the arches were replaced by a modern shop window system and the store was expanded to the entire width of houses 22 and 24. In 1986 all floors were renovated again. Coburg-Ketschengasse-22.jpg
Ketschengasse 23 The baker's property, which has been documented here since 1595, was rebuilt in 1833 in the form of strict classicism and modified in 1893 and 1914 with additional shop fittings. Additional windows, an entrance door and an arched shop window to Steinweglein as well as two shop doors and three arched shop windows to Ketschengasse were installed . Master bricklayer August Eckardt carried out both construction measures. In its large, cubic basic shape with the gently sloping hipped roof , the corner house conspicuously marks the beginning of the street section towards the market. Continuous cornices, the close row of windows with their lintel profiles on the first floor and the absence of corner frames particularly emphasize the strict horizontal structure. Coburg-Ketschengasse23.jpg
Ketschengasse 24 Up until 1890 there was a two-storey house with a gable facing Ketschengasse . Butcher master Tobias Großmann had it demolished in 1890 and Carl Kleemann erected a new three-story building in its place . A breakthrough to the production facility and the shop of the court slaughterhouse in neighboring house No. 22 took place in 1914. In 1968, both shops were combined into one shop. In 1986 the entire property No. 22-24 was divided and a department store was set up in the existing factory, shop and residential buildings.

The neo-renaissance corner house No. 24 sets an important structural accent on the corner of Rosengasse and Albertsplatz . The main facade of the three-storey mansard hipped roof building is on Ketschengasse . The structure in three arched openings and a central entrance is preserved on the ground floor. The central axis of the facade is emphasized by a gable with double windows on both sides. Ornate parapets and cornices on consoles characterize the first floor. The facade towards the Rosengasse shows a similar structure . The cornices run around the entire facade. A tooth cut adorns the eaves cornice, above which there is a triaxial, pilasters-structured and supported by volute braces. The rounded house edge consists of a corner cuboid on the upper floors.

Coburg-Ketschengasse-24.jpg
Ketschengasse 25 The Steinwegleinschule building stood here as early as the early 18th century. In 1796 it was demolished and rebuilt. The school existed until 1835, when the court attorney Dr. Gottfried Erhardt bought the property. In 1842 he had Christian Heyn set up a dwelling. Reinhold Erhardt, the ducal district administrator, had an outbuilding with a staircase added and a shop built into the main building in 1881. In 1899 the property passed into the possession of the confectioner C. Fahrenberger, who had two shops built in instead of one, including the extension. This resulted in a change in the facade: to the right and left of a double window with the year 1796 in the keystone, there were three more shop windows each. In 1906 the extension was given a half-timbered porch and a gazebo was created. In 1966 the double window was converted into an entrance portal. In 1968 a double garage was added to the former city wall. In 1976 an apartment was built in the attic, in 1980 the windows were renewed and in 1991 the facade was renovated.

The original structure of the Steinwegleinschule was particularly recognizable through the right-angled pilaster portal in the center with its accentuated lintel. The two-storey hipped mansard roof building with a dwelling is executed in half-timbered buildings on the seven-axis upper storey. The three-axis dwarf house with its small segmented arched window in the gable field characterizes the facade in a special way. Remnants of the city wall are integrated into the right side, which is open here in blocks. A series of mansard dormers visually corrects the irregularity of the secondary sides.

Coburg-Ketschengasse25.jpg
Ketschengasse 26
formerly Ketschenbad
In 1317 the Ketschenbad, also known as the Niedere or Untere Badstube, stood here, which had been built on to the west of the Inner Ketschentor since the city wall was built. In 1876 the bathroom was converted into the Zum Deutschen Kaiser inn , which existed until 1905 as a pavilion-like two-storey mansard hipped roof house. Partial demolition of the building was considered as early as 1926, which was finally carried out in 1956. An old well was exposed and filled in. In 1959, the Coburg Industry Promotion Agency built a single-storey shop building with a curved flat roof on a column to cover the passage on the remaining property.

Towards the Rosengasse, the building is structured by a wall of windows in a grid system, the original, small-scale black and white ceramic paneling of which has been retained. As a typical building from the 1950s, the sales pavilion has its own charm, even if it looks strangely foreign in the historicist setting. In 1970 the shop was enlarged and an outer and an inner wall were torn down. In 1984 more walls in the shop were removed and steel supports were installed.

Coburg-Ketschengasse-26.jpg
Ketschengasse 27
Café Prinz Albert
The neo-Gothic three-storey mansard hipped roof house has its longer five-axis side facing the lower system , but emphasizes its position in Ketschengasse , where it has only two horizontally structured window axes, with the angular lintels of the windows on the first floor and with its polygonal corner bay window. In 1864, the confectioner Julius Ruprecht had the corner bay that dominates the facade added. A three-pass frieze surrounds the house under the eaves. There is a large continuous shop window on the ground floor. In 1909 a second dormer window was installed, and in 1958 the shop was enlarged by removing the partition walls and installing large shop windows. In 1968 a one-story shop was added to the lower facility . Coburg-Ketschengasse27.jpg
Ketschengasse 28 In the 16th or 17th century, this two-storey house facing Ketschengasse was built as a coppersmith of Matthes Quarck, because it was described in 1700 as an old corner house with two floors, two rooms, a forge and a workshop . Coppersmiths still sat here in the 19th century. In 1862, Tobias Frommann carried out a fundamental renovation for master gingerbread maker Jacob Wissmüller to create a three-storey hipped roof house with a four-axis dwarf house on the north side and uniform windows. The orientation of the house is more towards Albertsplatz than towards Ketschengasse , because the mid-houses on the west and east sides are only biaxial and were only built in 1893 as part of an attic extension. The dwarf house on the south side was expanded from one to three axes in 1926. In 1934 dormers were added on the north and east sides.

Since 1862, the ground floor on Ketschengasse has had two entrances between three shop windows, one to the shop and one to the stairwell. The shop windows facing Albertsplatz and the entrance to a second shop were built in 1884. The ground floor facade was plastered in 1961

Coburg-Ketschengasse-28.jpg
Ketschengasse 29 The year of construction 1786 is written on the wedge of the arched pilaster portal of the three-storey mansard roof house with eaves. The striking appearance of the house is based on the seven window axes and the exposed half-timbering on the upper storeys. Here the windows are lined up in an orthogonal grid system. The large shop windows on the right-hand side are visually clearly receding from the former entrance to the house on the right-hand side. They were installed in 1909, and at the same time the previously simple dormers were doubled in a roof extension. Since then, they have been adapting to the facade axes. In 1926, another shop window system was installed on the left. The rear building, which were until 1970 behind the building were to extend the school Albertinum canceled Coburg-Ketschengasse29.jpg
Ketschengasse 30
Gasthaus Grill-Schosch
In contrast to the neighboring house No. 32, the three-storey hipped roof house with its distinctive gable front gives the impression of a house standing on the eaves. As a result, it adapts to the entire row of houses. In 1850 the merchant Heinrich Damnitz had the house rebuilt by master bricklayer Andreas Hertha. In 1869 and 1888, Tobias Frommann carried out two major redesigns: First, the originally small and irregularly arranged windows for tinsmith Theodor Niezel were replaced by three windows each on the upper floors and two in the roof gable, and 19 years later on the ground floor for restaurateur Johann Knorr set up an inn. At the same time, a double shop window system was installed in place of the right door and the entrance door originally located on the left was moved towards the center.

The upper floors are laid out above a sandstone square plinth in half-timbered construction. The ground floor, set off by a cornice, still shows the position of the entrance, which was originally on the left. The lintel over the double shop windows divided by pilasters rests on five volute consoles. A recessed house dormer emphasizes the center of the facade, which is evenly designed on the upper floors. Fire alleys separate houses 30 and 32 from each other

Coburg-Ketschengasse-30.jpg
Ketschengasse 31 The three-storey hipped roof house, built around 1700, forms a striking small ensemble with the almost equally large neighboring house No. 29 due to the half-timbered construction on the upper floors that has been exposed since 1980/81. In 1730, the property belonging to the saddler Hans Georg Röhrer was described as a new house with three floors, eight rooms, a vault and a cellar . Since this no longer corresponded to the conditions of 1879, a new building was likely to have been built as early as the end of the 17th or beginning of the 18th century. In 1879, the businessman Ulrich Kapfer had two arched entrances and three windows on the ground floor removed and a shop window system with a central portal and pilasters and two shops built in their place. The two seven-axis upper floors deviate from the symmetry of the first floor with their three columns joined together in four and three axes. Two standing dormers step back significantly above the far projecting eaves. As with house No. 29 in 1970, all the back buildings were demolished here in 1981/82 to expand the Albertinum grammar school . The stairwell built in front of the rear from 1879 was retained. Coburg-Ketschengasse31.jpg
Ketschengasse 32 The two -storey, gable-roofed mansard roof house, described in 1730 as a central building with two floors and three rooms , essentially dates from the 17th century. Due to the facade design on the ground floor, characteristic of the late Baroque, with a basket-arched shop window, the portal moved to the left from the center and the two windows on the right, the house looks very picturesque. The ground floor and upper floor with its five window axes are connected by banded corner frames. Window aprons emphasize the upper floor and the three-axis mansard floor with a peaked roof. A courtyard wall with an arched entrance that delimits a small rear courtyard characterizes the four-axle side facing Kuhgasse . Remodeling work in 1970, 1976, 1988 and 1989 changed the interior of the building. In 1998 an elevator was installed. Coburg-Ketschengasse-32-1.jpg
Ketschengasse 33 The eight-axis long, now three-storey eaves-sided building was initially built on two storeys in 1733 for the Nadler Johann Georg Heuberger and was extended by Christian Heyn for the master baker Gottreich Bernhard Langguth in 1843, which can be seen from the irregularity of the upper storeys. On the massive ground floor, these are executed in a plastered framework construction. The receding of the left part of the facade and the two adjacent entrances are remarkable. This suggests the merger of two properties with their houses. In addition, the baker Conrad Hofmann and his brother-in-law Johann Georg Heuberger are registered as owners of one half of the house each in 1727. The wedge of the arched portal on the left bears the initials JG H. In 1878 an entrance to the bakery was created in the arched window on the left, and in 1928 a new entrance was built to the left of the shop window. The installation of a stand-up snack required the removal of the inner wall between the shop and the living room. Coburg-Ketschengasse33.jpg
Ketschengasse 37 The house on the corner of Obere Salvatorgasse was initially built in 1363 on a single floor. Another floor was added between 1656 and 1680. In 1700 the house was described as an old corner house with two floors, a living room and a shop . On behalf of master saddler Johann Heinrich Schubart, another storey and a hipped roof were added in 1838. In 1859 a shop door and a central window were installed on the ground floor for master saddler Ferdinand Wustlich, and 10 years later the front door was moved from the front to Obere Salvatorgasse . In 1908 the merchant Albert Kopsch had the shop window system redesigned. Renovation work inside the building enlarged the basement and warehouse on the ground floor in 1910.

The ground floor of the house with three window axes on the narrow side facing Ketschengasse is dominated by a modern shop fitting. Only on the first floor are the windows emphasized by cornices. A profiled cornice surrounds the front and side fronts between the first and second floors, with a row of windows on the corner side. The arrangement of the windows on the second floor directly below the eaves suggests a framework construction, at least on this floor. The baroque entrance door in Obere Salvatorgasse is framed by triglyphs on which a profile lintel rests.

Coburg-Ketschengasse37.jpg
Ketschengasse 39 From the 16./17. The corner house on Oberen Salvatorgasse , which was built in the 17th century, remained in a new building that Johannes Köhler carried out for master baker Georg Friedrich Müller in 1881. Only the outer walls and some inner walls of the ground and first floor were preserved. The three-storey new building shows itself in the strict forms of neoclassicism and thus sets a special structural accent in Ketschengasse , comparable to the house at Ketschengasse 23 .

The six-axis structure of the facade is emphatically horizontal. Profile strips frame the ribbon windows on the two upper floors, set off at the top and bottom by smooth wall strips. The top end of the facade is an ornamental console frieze under the protruding eaves, above which a two-axis dormer with pilaster structure forms the end. In 1928 the original shop windows were replaced by larger ones, and in 1989 the left half of the ground floor was converted into a café, which in turn resulted in a change in the facade.

Coburg-Ketschengasse39.jpg
Ketschengasse 40 The gusset in the confluence of Kuhgasse in the Ketschengasse standing corner house is only since 1868, after the destroyed by fire predecessor was rebuilt three stories of Edward Roehrig two surviving outer walls on the ground floor. The new owner, master rope maker Johann Nicol Preßel, had the ground floor facade redesigned for the new building and the shop window system on the east side changed as early as 1874 and an apartment built in the top floor.

The south facade is divided into four axes through all three floors and the narrower east and west sides are divided into three axes. The ground floor with its shop windows of the same size consists of a sandstone ashlar wall. If the upper floors are not visually divided, strong cornices frame the gable triangle. Two dormers installed in 1902 appear visually effective on both long sides of the gable roof.

Coburg-Ketschengasse40.jpg
Ketschengasse 42 The linen weaver Johann Anton Sturm had the three-story house built with seven window axes around 1800. The storeys above the massive ground floor are made of half-timbering, which was plastered in 1903 as part of a roof extension to include a dwelling with two side dormers. As a result of this conversion, the building on the eaves gives the representative impression of a gabled house and thus characterizes the square-like extension of Ketschengasse. The ground floor, originally laid out symmetrically with two outer, round-arched shop windows as well as a shop and front door in the middle, was redesigned in 1907, which led to today's asymmetry. The building was renovated in 2019. Coburg-Ketschengasse-42.jpg
Ketschengasse 43 The original building of the three-storey corner house Ketschengasse / Untere Salvatorgasse , the gable side of which is wider than the eaves side on Ketschengasse , had housed a coppersmith's shop since 1582 and was described in 1700 as an old house with two floors, a workshop, a forge and a cellar . It moves back slightly from the building line to the neighboring house No. 41. In 1882 the roof was extended and windows were installed in the framework on the gable end. A new forge was set up for master blacksmith August Koch in the rear building. The design of the exposed half-timbering on the gable side is typical of the 17th century with its parapet fields with St. Andrew's cross and curved diamonds . The storeys protrude slightly up to the gable of the steep, high and kinked gable roof, which is not taken over by the plastered, seven-axis eaves side. The horizontal structures are also missing here. In 1914, the construction company B. Brockardt installed two large shop windows with a central shop door for the Ferdinand Koch iron shop on the ground floor on the eaves side. The side shop window on the gable side was built in 1959. Coburg-Ketschengasse43.jpg
Ketschengasse 44 The two-storey gable-roof house from around 1600, together with two side wings and a rear building, forms a small inner courtyard and housed a forge until the 20th century. The profile-framed gate entrance on the left is closed in its basket arch by a wedge with a lion mask, above which a horse-head traffic light identifies the building as a forge. Five ground floor windows, the lintels of which are extended by a cornice over the portal and thus take over the optical separation of floors, sit at the height of the portal transom. Seven window axes with profiled frames structure the upper floor. In 1906, master blacksmith Ernst Schuhmann relocated the forge in the front building to the converted rear building. Coburg-Ketschengasse44.jpg
Ketschengasse 45 Between Unterer Salvatorgasse and the entrance to the Salvatorfriedhof stands the eaves, three-storey saddle roof house, the year of which is given in the wedge of its portal as 1737 and which, with its rear buildings, surrounds a small inner courtyard. In 1832, the white tanner widow Anna Catharina Raab had a dwelling built on top of the originally two-storey house, but this disappeared again in 1843 when the master carpenter Ernst Resch, commissioned by the merchant Johann Heinrich Eberhard, increased the building. The two upper floors above the ground floor, which is offset by a profile cornice, with a shop fitting, have five window axes with a central emphasis. The window and portal arrangement followed this vertical arrangement until 1880, when the two right-hand windows were combined to form a shop window. In 1951 , the merchant Johann Reblitz had a shop with a door and a shop window built into the ground floor with its grooved corner pilasters facing Untere Salvatorgasse . Coburg-Ketschengasse45.jpg
Ketschengasse 48 On a towel-shaped plot of land, the core of the 18th or early 19th century eaves-mounted five-axis main house, two rear buildings and a rear garden form two inner courtyards. In 1857 the house was fundamentally changed by Friedrich Böhm on behalf of the master tailor widow Dorothea Stark: It received a completely new rear wall over two floors and a higher ridge. In 1883, master blacksmith Andreas Schuhmann had a shop built on the ground floor with a door and a shop window on the left. In 1898, under master locksmith Ernst Weidmann, building counselor Kleemann raised the eaves by half an attic and moved the forge from the main building to the left side building. The subsequent increase by one storey is visible in the different vertical structure: while the first floor has five irregular window axes, there are six regular windows on the second floor. In the back garden there is a Gothic-style wooden pavilion with an onion dome from 1920. Coburg-Ketschengasse48.jpg
Ketschengasse 49 The elegant residential and commercial building built in the neo-renaissance style in 1895 has an approximation of the soon-to-be-followed Ketschentor on the ground floor through the use of sandstone blocks as building material. It stands out clearly from the simpler facades of its surroundings. Since the eaves lines and storey heights of the older neighboring houses have been adopted, the three-storey eaves side house adapts to these. The central store entrance on the ground floor, flanked by two large shop windows, as well as the two pairs of windows with pilaster frames on the upper floors clearly emphasize the central axis of the house, reinforced by a dwarf house with a triangular gable and two small windows at the top. Five rows of parapet cornices and lintels on consoles clearly perceive the horizontal structure of the facade. Coburg-Ketschengasse49.jpg
Ketschengasse 50 Originally houses 50 and 52 were two-story. In 1842 both were increased by master carpenter Ernst Resch and brought under one roof. Until 1906, the three-storey gable-roof house No. 50 with the eaves had a half-timbered facade extending from the ground floor to the eaves. Then the ground floor part was replaced by a solid wall with a round arched door and two large windows with rounded upper corners. Five regularly arranged window axes in the horizontally not divided upper storeys divide the facade vertically. Two standing dormers structure the roof area. A restaurant has been located in the property since 1873 at the latest. The restaurateur Joseph Reichardt is registered as the first owner. It was followed by August Görauch, who had a bowling alley built on the rear property in 1881.

In more recent times, the roof of the neighboring house no.52 was changed by an expansion so that it no longer forms a unit with house no.50.

Coburg-Ketschengasse50.jpg
Ketschengasse 54 Although only two-storey, the corner house on Casimirstrasse, built in 1863, is an eaves-sided gable-roof house of the manufacturer Dr. Friedrich Carl Ortloff, almost the same height as the neighboring house. As a result, both floors achieved more representative room heights. In the facade of the house built by Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Streib in the form of late classicism protrudes a wide and flat four-axis risalit , next to which the two outer axes recede. A profile cornice separates the two floors. The cornice under the eaves is formed from a row of blind arches on brackets.

Until 1945 the house was built directly onto the wing of the Ketschentor (see no. 56). After the demolition and postponed reconstruction of the wing building in 1956, house No. 54 became a corner house and the gap to the new building was closed by a simple wall as high as a house. This corner plot extends to the west of Casimirstraße and is located directly behind the broken city wall. At the southwest corner of the property there was previously a late medieval wall tower, on the remains of which a garden house was built in 1871. The remains of the tower can be seen as a protruding wall and ashlar masonry under the plastered superstructure of the garden house. In 1992 the brick vaulted cellar was filled with concrete for structural reasons. In 2014/15 the building was converted into a hotel.

Coburg-Ketschengasse54-3.jpg
Ketschengasse 56 The western wing of the Ketschentor , as a counterpart to the eastern wing (see Casimirstrasse 7 ), built together with it in 1828 in the English neo-Gothic style, has not been in its original location since 1956. Increasing traffic in the 1930s on Coburg's main access road led to initial considerations of creating a second passage next to the narrow Ketschentor and relocating the wing construction. The wing structure, which was still in its old location, finally got in the way of the Allied troops advancing with heavy vehicles in 1945 and was laid down to avoid damage to the narrow passageways of the city gates. This created a vacant lot that remained until the reconstruction in 1956 on the occasion of the 900th anniversary of the city of Coburg. The reconstruction was based on the earlier plans and the western flank building was rebuilt about 12 meters to the west.

The sandstone block construction is reinforced at the corners. Two window axes with divided curtain arches structure the south facade. On the ground floor there is a shop with two round-arched shop windows. The entrance to the shop is on the narrower east side facing the city gate. The new passage arch is also located here.

Ketschentor
Ketschentor
The Outer Ketschentor is a five-story gate tower from the first third of the 14th century. As part of the fortifications of the Ketschenvorstadt, the passage consisted of the outer gate, a moat bridge, which was renewed from stone in 1686, and a city-side entrance gate with two towers. In 1713 the outer gate received its Welsche Dome with a domed lantern. The bridge and front gate disappeared in the 18th century, a wall breakthrough for pedestrians was added in the 19th and another for vehicles in the 20th century. Coburg-Ketschentor1.jpg

Kirchgasse

Kirchgasse 50 ° 15 ′ 27.6 ″  N , 10 ° 57 ′ 55.8 ″  E
The angled Kirchgasse leads from Steingasse to the churchyard at the Morizkirche (Coburg) . It stands out due to its greater width compared to the other alleys around the churchyard . Instead of the houses Kirchgasse 12,14,16 and Kirchhof 2,2a, all of which were not built before the 16th century, one suspects an early market square, where the first Coburg town hall ( Mittleres Kirchgässlein 6 ) stood until 1407 .
Kirchgasse 2
Cranach House
Originally laid out together with Kirchgasse No. 4 as a semi-detached house with only two stone floors at the corner of Steingasse and Kirchgasse , according to a dendrochronological investigation, it was built in the period 1467/68. A painter Lucas is mentioned as one of the owners of the estate for the years 1508–11 . Lucas Cranach the Elder is behind this abbreviation . Ä. At that time, too, the house had no half-timbered upper storeys. This, together with the steep roof and all-round plastering, was not added until the 18th century. At the same time, the double-leaf arched entrance portal with a profile frame and a console-shaped volute wedge was redesigned. In 1882 a shop was installed on the ground floor for master locksmith Ferdinand Schilling, the entrance door of which replaced the middle of the three windows on Steingasse . In 1925, the right window on Steingasse was also changed into another house entrance door. In 1952, the plaster was removed from the sandstone and half-timbered façades and renovated. Ten years later, half of the building, Kirchgasse No. 4 , was demolished and replaced by a new building. Until 2003, under the window next to the portal in Kirchgasse , the now walled-up arch of a former cellar neck could be seen.

The north wall of the two basement floors in Steingasse is sloping and follows the course of the medieval street, while the later added half-timbered upper floors are adapted to the building line of the 18th century. Two lugs are used for this on the northeast corner, which is sloping on the ground floor . Otherwise the framework rests directly on the top of the wall. The different design of the two upper floors in terms of type and angle of inclination suggests two construction phases. While the half-timbering on the second floor on the east side uses standing man figures alternating between narrower and stronger stands , on the third floor almost square compartments determine the structure. Since the high hipped roof has no superstructures, it is not very visible. Inside the house there is a square cellar with barrel vaults and a stucco ceiling on the first floor.

Coburg-Kirchgasse2.jpg
Kirchgasse 6 The house, which originally dates from the 15th or 16th century, has a floor plan with a hallway on the right-hand floor and a staircase at the back. It got its present-day appearance around 1800 through the almost complete renovation of the three upper floors. In 1879, master butcher Gottfried Beck had the half-timbered structure that had been plastered exposed again. In 1894, carpenter Johann Geuss moved inside walls on all floors. The originally small windows on the ground floor were replaced by a large shop window in 1907, with the arched house and shop entrance on the right-hand side being retained. The upper floors, which are separated from the ground floor by a profiled cornice, protrude slightly over this. The windows on the upper floors, arranged in three vertical axes, are clamped into a narrow framework with slanted timbers in the parapets. A profile cornice separates the first from the second floor. The flat roof pitch was made necessary by the specified ridge heights of the neighboring buildings. Coburg-Kirchgasse6.jpg
right house
Kirchgasse 7 In 1819, the cloth maker Philipp Gottlieb Rothgangel had the four-story hipped roof house built in half-timbered over a massive ground floor, in which a shop was built for master shoemaker Julius Apel in 1871 and the left window to the shop door and the two middle ones to a shop window. Together with the front door on the right, the symmetrical structure has been preserved to this day. The soffits of the shop windows and doors are adorned with grooved bevels . The sandstone ground floor is separated from the plastered upper floor by a profiled wood. In keeping with the taste of the time, no further optical horizontal divisions were used in order not to disturb the even vertical division by four window axes and thus make the house appear higher. The hipped roof without superstructures hardly has any effect on the street side above the protruding eaves. In the course of a window renovation in 1987, however, a dormer window was created on the back of the house. Coburg-Kirchgasse7.jpg
Kirchgasse 8 The four-storey house, which was the rear building of the property at Ketschengasse No. 1 (see there) until 1698, has existed in its substance since the 17th and 18th centuries. The two inward-facing window axes make the house appear very narrow-chested. Its eaves are arranged significantly lower than the almost identical eaves line of the neighboring houses. In 1964, a garage with a side entrance was built into the first floor, which was originally built from half-timbering like the upper floors. The half-timbered walls were replaced by massive walls. The upper floors, which were freed from plaster in 1949, are designed in the typical half-timbered form of the 18th century. The almost square surfaces are stiffened on the second and third floors with sloping timber, and on the fourth floor with St. Andrew's crosses under the window parapets. The floor plan corresponds to that of the neighboring house No. 6. The rear of the house delimits the inner courtyard of Ketschengasse No. 1 . Coburg-Kirchgasse6.jpg
left house
Kirchgasse 10 The four-story, half-timbered eaves side house dates from the 17th century, with the exception of the massive ground floor. In 1883 the half-timbered structure on the first floor was replaced by stone walls and the street side was built in with three arched door and window openings based on the old design. The originally preserved three-axis half-timbered facade has regularly designed parapets with St. Andrew's crosses and diamonds on the first and second floors. The third floor, much simpler in an unadorned grid system, was added in the late 18th century. Then the entire facade was plastered, as befitted the taste of the time. Half-timbering and sandstone were not exposed again until 1958. The gable roof reaches the line of houses 2 to 6 at eaves and ridge height. Coburg-Kirchgasse10.jpg
Kirchgasse 12 At right angles to its neighboring house, the plastered three-story half-timbered house with its five window axes is representative. Above the right-hand window on the ground floor is the whitewashed year 1531, which indicates the year of construction. This coincides with the application made by the administrator Johann Benedikt Brumhardt in 1701 to have his dilapidated house built 170 years ago repaired. The application was granted and the house underwent an internal renovation. In 1863, the businessman Ernst Saul had a shop window installed on the left-hand side of the ground floor. Two more shops were in the back. All three were merged into one business in 1957. A cornice separates the modern ground floor with the central entrance and side shop windows and the lower edge of the upper floor. The house edges are adorned with grooved pilaster strips . The windows are drawn together into vertical strips by aprons. Two small dormers adorn the hipped roof. A baroque balustrade with a central staircase has been preserved in the small garden behind the house . The rear façade of the house has a dwelling with segmented arched windows and a garden door. Coburg-Kirchgasse12.jpg
Kirchgasse 14 The three-storey five-axis eaves side house, probably from the 16th or 17th century at its core, was given a classicist facade structure in the late 18th century. In 1901, the butcher Elias Müller had a front door installed on the ground floor on the right, and in the middle instead of the original entrance an arched shop window framed by two dormer pilasters and a display case to the left. During this renovation, the interior walls were also changed. The ground floor is closed at the top by a fluted profile cornice. On the two upper floors, which are made of half-timbered construction, the window strips are emphasized vertically by stuccoed window aprons with garlands and a cartouche-shaped parapet with an old company inscription. Grooved pilaster strips frame the corners of the house. A two-axle dwarf house with a sloping roof and pent roof dormers attached to the side, which was added in 1864 and framed by pilasters, emphasizes the vertical structure. Coburg-Kirchgasse14.jpg

Churchyard

Churchyard 50 ° 15 '26.4 "  N , 10 ° 57' 58.8"  E
The Coburg Old Town ensemble with its suburbs, special area 4, Kirchhof is surrounded by Kirchhof 1–4, Kirchgasse 1–8, 10, 12, 14, 16, Gymnasiumsgasse 2, Mittleres Kirchgäßlein 1, Neugasse 5, Pfarrgasse 1–7 and Steingasse 16 -18.
The churchyard, on which six streets or alleys converge in a star shape, was the center of the first town-like, fortified core settlement in Coburg in the 12th century. The construction of the Morizkirche was the focus. The first market square, which was gradually built over, was attached to the churchyard, a proven cemetery next to the church. In 1256 a provost's office with a chapel is occupied directly next to the church.
Two to four-story town houses are grouped around the Gothic parish church. To the east and south of the town church stand low two-story vicarage houses along the former church cemetery.

Kirchhof o.Nr. Archaeological excavations on the northeast side of the Morizkirche have proven the existence of an early cemetery at this point. Although its finds cannot be dated before the 13th century, according to research by M. Wintergerst, the roots of the churchyard probably go back to the Carolingian - Ottonian era. The excavations are documented in an exhibition in the adjoining new office building.

A branch monastery (provost's office) of the Benedictine Abbey of Saalfeld , which has stood on the later fortress mountain since 1075, was relocated to Itzgrund by the Counts of Henneberg . In 1256 a provost's office with its own chapel in the south-eastern part of the city ​​is occupied. Remnants of the foundations of a Romanesque basilica from the 12th century were also found in the churchyard.

Southeast of the Morizkirche, two wall sections were discovered in 2001, the older of which is dated to the 11th century. It could belong to a fortification within which a former inner-city market would have to have been located west of the Morizkirche. This first market settlement with its small-scale parceling in courtyards and the accumulated appearance of Gothic buildings was delimited by today's Untere Anlage , Herrngasse and Rosengasse with their peculiarly curved course. Until around 1407 the old town hall (see Mittleres Kirchgäßlein 1 ) stood on the edge of the first Coburg market square, which was built over more and more over the years.

Morizkirche
The Evangelical Lutheran town church of St. Moriz is the oldest church in Coburg . It goes back to a Romanesque basilica from the 12th century, of which remains of the foundations are still present. The oldest part of today's church is the Gothic east choir and dates from 1330. The west choir was built from 1420 to 1454, the foundation stone for the towers was laid in 1450. The 72 meter high north tower was not completed until 1586, the unfinished south tower, also Raven tower called, has had its present form since 1633. Construction of the actual church building, a late Gothic three-aisled nave, began around 1520 and was not finished until the end of the 16th century. In 1598 Duke Johann Casimir had his parents Johann Friedrich der Mittlere and Elisabeth von der Pfalz, who died in 28-year captivity, set a twelve-meter-high alabaster tomb by the sculptor Nikolaus Bergner , which is one of the most beautiful Renaissance epitaphs in Germany becomes. In 1601 he also arranged for the cross section of the nave against the east choir by the princes. Under Duke Franz Josias , the interior of the Moriz Church was finally redesigned in Baroque style between 1740 and 1742 . Since then, apart from maintenance work, the church has remained unchanged. Moriz Church
Churchyard 2 The three-storey eaves gable roof house was first mentioned in 1455 as a council fiefdom. A single-axis rectangular bay window on double arcades, which protrudes strongly above the ground floor and is provided with windows on three sides, protrudes with its dwarf house into the attic. Two window axes are attached to both sides. The position of the windows just below the top of the storey and the overhang of the upper storeys suggest a plastered half-timbered construction. On the ground floor with walls made of sandstone blocks, there are three slender arched openings with shop windows and a shop entrance next to the front door on the right. This division was initiated in 1876 by the women's association, which owned the building from 1858–1937. Previously, superintendents, lawyers and professors were housed in the house from 1638 to 1837, and then until 1858 the ducal consistory and the Ernst Albert seminar. Coburg-Kirchhof2.jpg
Cemetery 2a The corner house, which through its two entrances belongs to both Kirchgasse 16 and Kirchhof 2a , dates back to the 16th century. In 1700 it is described as empty and derelict , with three floors, three rooms and a cellar . It was not rebuilt as a diaconate building until the early 19th century. Two half-timbered storeys were built above the massive ground floor, the facade of the churchyard being changed again in 1883 by installing higher windows and the entire house being plastered. In addition, the front door had been removed in favor of another window. This was reversed when a shop was built in 1986. Erected on a square plot of land, the house is structurally part of Kirchgasse . The position of the gable facing the churchyard stands in opposition to the eaves riding houses that are otherwise located there. The gable has a cornice towards the churchyard and a tooth cut towards the Kirchgasse . Coburg-Kirchhof2a.jpg
Churchyard 3 The core of the late Middle Ages with a late Gothic door arch discovered in 1994, the appearance of the three-storey eaves side house with a high saddle roof, which has been preserved to this day, was created in 1866 by master carpenter Heim, who had the facade changed and the front eaves raised. In 1910 this was made up for on the courtyard side. In 1920 the ridge was lowered by one meter to match that of the neighboring houses. Built as a plastered half-timbered construction over the massive ground floor, the arrangement of the windows on the upper floors shows a clear division into two parts. The ground floor also appears to be divided into two by three large chamfered rectangular windows to the right of the entrance, in contrast to the two smaller windows on the left. Profiled cornices separate the floors. In 1903 the workshop of master carpenter Carl Bauersachs moved into the ground floor, and more recently a gastronomic business using the roofed inner courtyard. Today's front door comes from the broken property at Bahnhofstrasse 38 . Coburg-Kirchhof3.jpg
Cemetery 4 Originally there were two small farmsteads at this point, which were combined in 1606 to build a new church house. The three-storey gable roof house on the eaves side, separated from the neighboring buildings by narrow fire lanes, is a half-timbered house on a partially solid base. On the upper floors seven-axis, on the ground floor with one less vertical axis, the facade is probably a bit restless after a renovation in the late 18th century. Noteworthy is the right of two entrances on the left side of the house, which has a quadruple front door from the mid-18th century with a skylight. Except for the slight skipping of the third floor caused by the half-timbered structure, the facade has been completely dispensed with. In 1987 the house was renovated as an office building. A rear, three-storey wooden arena was uncovered, the structure of which, with its tight grid system, transoms and slanted timbers, suggests that it is an earlier half-timbered facade further to the courtyard.

Kleine Johannisgasse

Street description photo
Kleine Johannisgasse 50 ° 15 ′ 34.5 ″  N , 10 ° 57 ′ 57 ″  E
The upper bath room existed in house no. 6 in the 14th century . John the Baptist , who was often associated with bathing, was probably the namesake of Kleine Johannisgasse , which runs between Theaterplatz , Großer Johannis- and Spitalgasse .
Kleine Johannisgasse 1 The listed property on this house, newly built in 1965, is the portal taken over from the previous building. As the Keilstein with a three-masted sailing ship indicates, it dates from the year 1732. A two-tiered basket arch with a profiled frame rests on two new pillars. The year refers to a renovation of the previous house by the then owner carpenter Georg Sebastian Großkopf. The house had been a councilor since 1802 and was mostly inhabited by craftsmen. Coburg-Kleine-Johannisgasse1.jpg
Kleine Johannisgasse 2 The trapezoidal floor plan of the gable-free, two-storey half-timbered building with three axes, which dates from the 16th century, is due to the kink of the Kleine Johannisgasse at this point. In 1607 Duke Casimir bought it to be used as a wagon and dump house. In 1775 it was rebuilt by the weaver Johann Martin Hübner and the ground floor was massively renewed, as evidenced by the year and the initials on the wedge of the portal, which is formed by a beaded, profiled arch on smooth posts with final braces . In 1928 a shop was built with a shop window instead of two small windows. Coburg-Kleine-Johannisgasse2.jpg
Kleine Johannisgasse 3 The half-timbered three-storey, three-axle eaves side house was built in 1816 as a new building of an unspecified house. The ground floor was later massively renovated. The original inner courtyard was partially built over in 1875 with a side wing and a rear extension. In 1881 the shop was expanded. The ground floor and upper floors are separated by a profile cornice made of half-timbering. The windows on the first floor are highlighted by a straight roof with a tooth cut. The gable roof with its two dormers hardly appears visually. Coburg-Kleine-Johannisgasse3.jpg
Kleine Johannisgasse 4 In 1702 the house was called dilapidated. Mayor Johann Sebastian Martini bought it and replaced it with a new building. The new, three-storey house with eaves was built as a half-timbered construction over the massive ground floor. The division of the facade into 1: 3 window axes is not atypical and can be found in the neighboring house. The two basket-arched shop windows on the ground floor date from more recent times, the left entrance had a straight support until 1988. The ground floor is separated from the upper floors by a light profile cornice. A console cornice runs under the eaves. Coburg-Kleine-Johannisgasse4.jpg
Kleine Johannisgasse 5
Bratwurstglöckle
The house was mentioned in 1414 as one of the upper bathing rooms . In 1445 it was named An der Mawer . Originally the property comprised the entire Hofstatt House No. 5 and Theaterplatz 4a and was only divided into two plots in 1876. In 1730 the entire property belonged to the gold and silver trader Johann Sommer and is described as a corner house, half new and half medium-sized, 3 floors with 6 rooms, 1 vault, 2 cellars . The coat of arms at Theaterplatz 4a bears the year 1738 on the portal and shows the princely Hildburg secretary Johann Martin Sommer as the owner, who ran an educational institution for school teachers here . The Ernst Albert Seminar was housed here from 1811 to 1839 . 1873, before the

Division of the property, the ground floor was converted into a restaurant. The use as a restaurant has been preserved since then. 1913–1928 the wine tavern and then the Bratwurstglöckle were established with an expansion of the guest room, a change in the entrance portal to a double window and a new construction of the toilet facilities.

The house has changed its external appearance several times. Before 1873, the group of three inner windows on the two upper floors above the portal emphasized the center of the house. When converting to an inn, the portal was moved to the right, the former site was indeed transformed as a window on the left, but still retained in the bow the talking crest Johann Martin summer that his Namensallegorie in the form of a Reaper with sickle and ears of corn on the crest shows .

Coburg-Kleine-Johannisgasse5.jpg
Kleine Johannisgasse 6 At the beginning of the 14th century , the Upper Badstube was operated here, as evidenced by the Lords of Schaumberg . In terms of architectural history, the corner house originally consists of two houses from the 14th century. In 1721 it was rebuilt and combined with the neighboring house. With the sale of the property in 1858 to the court musician Haas, the bathing justice expired. The window arrangement on the ground floor and first floor clearly shows the original two houses. Carl Kleemann added a floor to the house in 1893 and made it look like the neighboring house with a uniform gable roof. The façade on the eaves side was given a three-axis central dwelling. Coburg-Kleine-Johannisgasse6.jpg
Kleine Johannisgasse 7 The house was built before 1592, because from then on it was run as a council fief. In 1653 the house is described as old with two floors and two rooms . Inside there is a wooden spiral staircase from the 16th or 17th century. The barrel vaulted cellar also dates from the time it was built. Master shoemaker Johann Christoph Ortloff had windows and doors installed on the ground floor in 1839. The year and initials ( C + O 1839 ) were above the entrance door until 1993. The gable-free craftsman's house with a solid ground floor and upper floor made of plastered timber framing carries a roof structure with both one-sided lapping and mortise. At the end of the 19th century, the workshop on the ground floor was converted into a shop. During a complete renovation in 1993/94, the shop was enlarged and steel supports and steel beams were installed. Coburg-Kleine-Johannisgasse7.jpg
Kleine Johannisgasse 8
Münchner Hofbräu
In 1393, a farmstead stretching as far as Große Johannisgasse was first mentioned in a document at this point. The owners were the mint masters of Rosenau (see Ketschengasse 7 ). From 1454 to 1526 the property was owned by the Carmelite Monastery of Bamberg . Then the following division emerged: The main building of the Hofstatt was in the Große Johannisgasse 3 , in the area of ​​the Kleine Johannisgasse 8 there were ancillary and back buildings with a dining room with a veranda, a garden and a bowling alley. In 1526, the relatively large farmstead began to be reduced in size through divisions and sales. From 1817 to 1858 the nursery for small children of the Marienschule was housed in the garden and a garden hall was built. From 1864 to 1886 the building was used as a restaurant with a bowling alley for the restaurateurs August Schubarth and in 1886 a rear building was added. In the following years, numerous additions and conversions were carried out in quick succession, until finally, in 1897, building councilor Carl Kleemann remodeled the still one-story building of the bowling alley, which was moved to the inner courtyard, with the adjoining two-story building on Kleine Johannisgasse , and that is now consistently two-storey building subject to a uniform facade design. The rear buildings remained standing. In 1926 Arthur Bergmann added a storey for the Catholic House Association in order to obtain a hall on the first floor. The State Hofbräuhaus in Munich acquired the property in 1931. Since then, the relief with the Münchner Kindl has been above the main portal. In 1971 part of the inner courtyard was covered.

The elongated street facade with its eleven window axes has a kink after the third axis from the right, which marks the earlier transition from the inn to the bowling alley. The windows of the two-story gable roof house with eaves are arranged irregularly, the entrance door is to the right of the central axis. A dormer-like dormer window with four axes and a triangular gable shows a certain emphasis on the middle, flanked on both sides by two smaller dormers. The two floors are separated from each other by a profiled cornice. The Munich rough plaster from 1926 is an essential part of the overall appearance.

Coburg-Kleine-Johannisgasse8.jpg
Kleine Johannisgasse 9 August Berger , architect from Hildburghausen , built the residential and commercial building in geometric Art Nouveau shapes in 1911 instead of a shed for the court shoemaker Ernst Kuckuck. In doing so, he adopted essential design features from the twin house at Bahnhofstrasse 10/12 , which he also built . The separation of the ground floor and the first floor is largely dissolved in the left half of the facade by recessed parts. Two three-sided bay windows, of which the left rests on three pillars and the right on a roof porch, support the upper floors. Four times two paired window axes of the left half of the facade are divided by center posts on the second floor and undivided on the third floor. On the right half of the facade, the first and second floors protrude clearly above the two-axis ground floor. The visual weight lies here on the wide, three-part ribbon of windows on the second floor. The third floor, in turn, clearly recedes behind the entire facade. A tail gable forms the upper end of the left part of the building, an arbor that of the right. Coburg-Kleine-Johannisgasse9.jpg

Kleine Judengasse

In 1875 part of the street Am Judentor , today Judengasse , was named Kleine Judengasse . It leads from the point at which the Judengasse swings westwards to the south to the former city wall at the Eselstor . The small square there has been preserved.
Kleine Judengasse 1 At the end of the 18th century, the eaves-standing two-story small house was built. But there must have been a previous building, which is mentioned in 1678 as half an old house with two floors and two rooms . In 1838, master craftsman Lang had the rear ground floor rebuilt. Five years later, the two-axis dwarf house was built by Friedrich Böhm. On the rear side, master craftsman Ernst Krauß had a three-story extension built in 1863. The craftsman was the master carpenter Ernst Wöhner. The ground floor was changed in two steps: in 1875 a shop with a shop window and entrance was built on the right-hand side instead of three small windows, and in 1950 the second shop was built in the middle, mirroring the first. In 1945 the saddle roof was replaced by a mansard roof after war damage. The dwelling remained unchanged, only the side dormers became drag dormers. Coburg-Kleine-Judengasse1.jpg
Kleine Judengasse 3 The original cadastre in 1862 shows three houses at this point, two next to each other on the street and one behind. The two front houses were already mentioned in 1674, and in 1765 the bricklayer Johann Adolph Melchior Meyer bought both. His descendant Georg Meyer rebuilt the ensemble in 1862 by combining both houses and adding a massive ground floor. The half-timbered upper floor under the hipped roof was plastered and the areas between the five axes were filled with flat pilaster strips . At the same time he created a new stairwell with an entrance door on the left side of the house. In 1874 and 1911 the rear house was increased and the roof was extended to the rear. The garages date from 1929 and 1960. Coburg-Kleine-Judengasse3.jpg
Kleine Judengasse 4 As early as 1668, the house was described as an old building with two floors and four rooms . Around the 18th century, a new or thorough renovation will have taken place, in which the half-timbered building was completely plastered. A workshop was added to the rear of the house in 1895, which is why the roof area was extended as a towing roof. Due to its location at a courtyard entrance, the house dominates despite the building line on the eaves. The four to four-axle house has a loft extension, which can be seen on the gable side by the two windows under the pointed roof. Coburg-Kleine-Judengasse4-1.jpg

Little Rosenau

Kleine Rosenau 50 ° 14 ′ 52.7 ″  N , 10 ° 57 ′ 30.8 ″  E
Rosenau Castle near Oeslau initially gave the Kleine Rosenau , a property with a park on Marschberg, the name that was later transferred to the street. It leads from Weichengereuth at the level of the freight yard to the west up the slope of the Marschberg.
Kleine Rosenau 7 On the park-like property, a garden house with an approximately square two-story core structure and two narrow wings was built in 1820, the southern one -story with a crenellated arbor and the northern two-story, also with a crenellated crown. In 1856 work began on converting the summer house into a villa. The southern wing was raised and received a gable roof. A two-storey polygonal tower was built on the east side and provided with battlements and arbors. The owner of the property, forester Philipp Schlick, had the tower expanded in 1872 by Bernhard Brockardt and given a pointed roof. To the right of the tower was a gabled risalit . The residential building was extended to the west by a five-axis extension with chambers and a coach house and the roof was raised evenly. A living room was added in 1959 and a balcony in 1974. The gable walls of the villa, designed in the style of neo-Gothic historicism , are adorned with smooth, pyramidal pinnacles above eyelashes . Some of the windows on the ground floor have right-angled lintels, while those on the second floor are designed as arched windows. On the stair tower, the cornice of which consists of a row of consoles with a blind arch frieze, there are also pointed arch windows. Coburg-Kleine-Rosenau7.jpg

Kleine Rosengasse

Kleine Rosengasse 50 ° 15 ′ 26.6 ″  N , 10 ° 57 ′ 46.4 ″  E
The narrow Kleine Rosengasse leads in an arch from Rosengasse to the west to the former city wall and, over part of Metzgergasse , back to Rosengasse . (For derivation of the name, see Rosengasse ).
Kleine Rosengasse 1 In the rear building of the house are the remains of the inner city fortifications, from the time of which the preserved cellar of a barn originates, on which a two-storey eaves-wide new building with five window axes was initially built in 1650. Towards the end of the 17th century, the half-timbered house was raised by one floor on the massive ground floor. At the beginning of the 18th century, a wooden arcade was built on the back and a rear building leaning against the city wall, which was expanded beyond its remains after the city wall was demolished in 1782. In 1820 the roof space of the front building was expanded to include a three-axis dwelling with a high triangular gable. Further building changes in 1832, 1836 and 1837 affected the rear of the house. For example, master shoemaker August Gärtner had windows broken into the remains of the city wall, a shop built on the ground floor, which served as a passage area to the inner courtyard, and master carpenter Brehm also installed a dwelling at the back. The house entrance on the right with a classical, richly decorated double-winged door is remarkable. Coburg-Kleine-Rosengasse1.jpg
Kleine Rosengasse 2 In 1700 the house is described as an old building with two floors, a room and a cellar . In the second half of the 18th century, a new or thorough renovation took place, in which the front half of the house was raised by one story and a hipped roof was added. The roof bay on the west side with three windows was built in 1902. The balcony was added in 1968. In 1971 the outbuilding was removed in favor of a new garage. The south-facing three-axle part of the house stands in the form of a bar in front of the narrow northern rear building, which is one storey lower and only has windows in the left half. The only ornament on the front of the alley is the profiled framing of the entrance portal, which consists of two door leaves with paneled panels. Coburg-Kleine-Rosengasse2.jpg
Kleine Rosengasse 3 The beginnings of this house are identical to those of the neighboring house no. Originally just a barn, it was replaced by a residential building around 1650. On the massive ground floor of the eaves and five-axis saddle roof construction, two slightly cantilevered upper floors are placed in plastered framework. A basket arched portal on the ground floor with two windows on the left and one on the right, shifted to the right off the axis, shows a mirror with a pecked surface in the wedge. The portal edging consists of smooth posts and a two-flush arch with a stepped edge profile resting on simple transoms. The two-axis vertical hipped dormer comes from the early 19th century. Since 1802 the house was council fiefdom with brewing justice . Coburg-Kleine-Rosengasse3.jpg
Kleine Rosengasse 5 The eaves-standing three-storey saddle-roof house from the 17th century consists of a massive ground floor made of ashlar masonry and upper floors made of half-timbered structure with three window axes, separated by a bulging profile cornice. In 1955, a shop with large shop windows was expanded on the ground floor, with the arched entrance from 1821 being retained. Coburg-Kleine-Rosengasse5.jpg
( Kleine Rosengasse 7 ) (The back of the building, which was built by the city in front of the fortified tower behind it in 1544 as a town servant's house, was vacant after this part of the fortification was demolished in 1791. Paul Gehrlicher took this as an opportunity in 1863/64 to completely rebuild the old house down to the core and on the other hand to build a new rear building up to the remains of the old city wall (see Albertsplatz 7 ). Until 1919, the main facade had a three-axis box bay window with consoles, a laurel relief, a coat of arms and a curved gable end, with the roof gable itself being paneled in wood. Inspection master Heinrich Zeidler had these elements removed and the facade plastered uniformly by plasterer Markus Ruhs.) The building was no longer included in the list of March 5, 2020. Coburg-Kleine-Rosengasse7.jpg
( Kleine Rosengasse 10 ) ( According to Keilstein, the last remaining craftsman's house from the 18th century in Kleine Rosengasse was built above the entrance door in 1739. Master shoemaker Johann Conrad Weiß used the massive ground floor of the otherwise half-timbered mansard hipped roof house with its three floors as a workshop. The portal on the left The ground floor side has a sandstone frame with a wedge and a door with six fields. The two windows next to it are also sandstone-framed.)
The building was no longer included in the list of December 13, 2013, demolished in April 2016 and replaced by a new building.

Kreuzwehrstrasse

Street description photo
Cross Wehrstraße 50 ° 15 '50.8 "  N , 10 ° 57' 36.5"  O
The Kreuzwehrstrasse , which was laid out in 1877 as part of the city's expansion, runs parallel to Bahnhofstrasse from Callenberger Strasse to Lossaustrasse . The Itz used to form a cross here with the Schleiermühlgraben flowing into it and the Lautermühlgraben flowing out of it. A weir regulated the water level of the Lautermühlgraben.
Kreuzwehrstrasse 1a In 1900 Hans Münscher built the two-storey gable-roof house, which has elements of the English [[Cottage (residential building) <Cottages]] and neo-Gothic . Due to the high basement, the ground floor appears as a mezzanine floor. A flat bay-like porch adorns the two-axis street front, with the windows on the upper floors grouped in pairs, while the ground floor is dominated by a large arched window with a shop entrance on the left. The southern side of the house with the entrance is dominated by a flat first floor project with a half-timbered dwarf house. The roof areas cover a half-timbered elbow , which encloses the crenellated central area on the gable side. All the window and door lintels of the massive front parts are designed as light arches. In the middle of the left side of the house there is a staircase tower with a pointed roof. In 1953, a two-storey extension to the rear followed and a door was installed instead of a window on the west side. Coburg-Kreuzwehrstr1a.jpg
Kreuzwehrstrasse 2 The villa-like two-storey house in the neo-renaissance style was built in 1887 by Johann Michael Probst. Various additions give the building with a gable roof and protruding eaves a picturesque appearance. The three-storey staircase tower with a high hip and thus reaching into the roof zone picks up on ideas from the French Renaissance . In front of the tower is the covered entrance with a closed veranda made of ornamented half-timbering. The porch above the staircase rests on Tuscan columns and pillars that support three basket arches adorned with masked wedge stones. A buttress with Zwerchhausgiebel and partial hip characterizes the facade to the cross Wehrstraße , a similar buttress with a preset ground bay is located on the east side, while, on the west side is a two-axis Zwerchhaus with a saddle roof. The particularly richly decorated ground floor, with shell niches above the windows, rests on a plinth made of rustic ashlar . Hardware ornament with diamond coating makes the two-axis box bay window on the south side particularly visible. Corner blocks surround all building edges. The double window above the box bay window is connected to the window below the cripple hip with fittings . The same arrangement is also found on the front gable side.

In 1900 Carl Kleemann built a carriage shed on the north-western boundary of the property in the form of a single-storey hipped roof house. A round tower with arched windows and a conical dome is attached to the side as a staircase to the coachman's apartment on the top floor. In 1919 the coach house, which was initially used as a horse stable, was converted into a garage and a basket arched double gate was used.

Coburg-Kreuzwehrstr2.jpg
Kreuzwehrstrasse 9 The first of four houses in a row by the client Carl Wetter was planned and built in the neo-renaissance style in 1892 by the architects Wetter & Gräfe. The three-storey brick building with its hipped mansard roof was given a rear building in 1900 that served as a wicker store for the Altmann brothers. In 1990 it was converted to residential use. In the same year the front building was subjected to a general renovation and the roof was raised by 35 cm so that the top floor could be used for apartments. The high basement turns the ground floor into a raised ground floor. Up to the base cornice, sandstone bands complete the floor separation, individual cuboids are used as corner reinforcements. A flat risalit with double windows and a beveled gable of the dwelling on the left side of the facade emphasizes the four-axis street front. At the back of the house are the house entrance and a staircase with windows offset from the other storeys. On the right there is a three-story closed porch in half-timbered construction with closed verandas on pillar supports. Coburg-Kreuzwehrstr9.jpg
Kreuzwehrstrasse 11 In its block-like manner, the house built by Carl Wetter in the form of the new Baroque in 1893 resembles its neighboring house no.9. On the street side, the three-storey mansard hipped roof building is closed on the right by a corner projectile with gable, so that three and two window axes result. The high basement makes the ground floor appear as a mezzanine floor. The corners of the house are set with diamond-cut blocks. The ground floor windows are covered by relief arches with lion masks. Profiled frames encompass the windows on the ground floor and first floor. The former have ornamental parapets and crowns, the latter sit directly on them. Both upper floors are connected by ribbon windows. Next to the ornamental gable above the risalit with its capped tip, there are three slated house dormers, which were added in 1898 when an attic was being extended. The rear three-axis entrance side is characterized by a colossal corner pilaster, behind which the staircase with colored glazing is located. A narrow central projectile protrudes on the right side of the house. In 1967 an extension was added to the back of the house for a light bulb factory, with a full-height biaxial bay window in front of it. Coburg-Kreuzwehrstr11.jpg
Kreuzwehrstrasse 13 / 13a Five years after building the annex no. 11, Carl Wetter had his third house in this row built in 1898 as a double apartment building on the floor plan of a three-wing complex, which encloses a narrow inner courtyard on the back. The block-like three-storey mansard roof structure resembles its neighboring houses in terms of type and appearance. The four-axis facade halves, divided by downpipes, are emphasized by two-axis corner projections with pilasters and a trimmed triangular gable. The windows on the ground floor, which appears as a mezzanine floor, sit on trapezoidal parapet fields and have round arches with mascarons . The windows on the first floor are the same size as on the ground floor, but are closed off by triangular fields. On the second floor, simple Tuscan pilasters with corresponding beams frame the windows. The second floor is separated from the central building by plastered intermediate fields and a continuous sill. On the roof are two dormers with volute supports and a shell arch attachment. On the two rear entrance sides there is a centrally arranged stair tower, marked with initials and year of construction at No. 13a (18.W.98). The doors are framed by round arches on fighters. Before 1966, the tower and gable structure of the annex building No. 13 were rebuilt without a permit; the tower and gable structure of No. 13a were only adapted in 1984. Coburg-Kreuzwehrstr13.jpg
Kreuzwehrstrasse 15 The last in the row of Wetterchen houses, together with the corner house at Raststrasse No. 6, again forms a double tenement house . Built in 1901, it takes on the type and appearance of its neighboring house No. 13 / 13a with simplified variations. So here ground floors and corner borders are clearly less emphasized. The facade is clad with yellow bricks, which form a strong contrast to the red side. The overall five-axis facade is closed to the left by a two-axis corner projecting, which carries a curved gable with a triangle. Bands take on the horizontal division of the facade. The windows on the first floor have a triangular attachment above the coat of arms of the Duchy of Coburg. On the entrance side, a stair tower with a gable roof dominates the house.

Kuhgasse 50 ° 15 ′ 21.9 ″  N , 10 ° 57 ′ 49.9 ″  E
The narrow Kuhgasse branches off from Albertsplatz to the southeast to the market-shaped extension of Ketschengasse . The name could come from a cattle market held here or refer to a prison (dialect cow ).
Kuhgasse 1 At the confluence of Kuhgasse and Ketschengasse , the course of the street widens like a square. The eye-catcher at this place is the gable-side half-timbered house Kuhgasse No. 1 , which in 1691 is described as an old building with two floors, two rooms, a cellar and a smithy . The ground floor, the three windows of which are drawn together by a common frame, ends at the sides with grooved corner pilasters. On the right is the double-winged portal with a basket arch that rests on corner pillars with fighters. A wedge is embedded in the arch. The ground floor, made of sandstone blocks, is separated from the recessed half-timbered superstructure by a smooth architrave with a two-flush support. The half-timbered structure uncovered in 1952 shows St. Andrew's crosses and diamonds in the gable area. The vertical structure, adapted to the ground floor, is made by four window axes in a ratio of three to one. The windows on the eaves side are much smaller, as the threshold , chest and top transom are evenly spaced. In 1989, a rear building was demolished and a new extension was built in its place.

Kürengrund 50 ° 15 ′ 47.6 ″  N , 10 ° 55 ′ 55 ″  E
The Middle High German word Kürn for a mill or a millstone gave the Kürengrund its name. It leads through a water-rich area called Weihersholz . The names Kirrngrund and Kirschengrund are also documented around 1750 . Probably in connection with the construction of the Ernstfarm , the ground was expanded as a paved road from Callenberger Straße to Scheuerfeld in 1875 .
Kürengrund 80
serious farm
The Ernstfarm is a former ducal domain on the outskirts of Coburg in the Scheuerfeld district . In 1878, on the advice of his brother Prince Consort Albert of Great Britain, Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha commissioned the Coburg building officer Georg Konrad Rothbart to plan and build the model farm based on the English farms of the Agriculture Movement .
