The Abt-Fulrad-Straße 3 building in Esslingen am Neckar is a medieval half-timbered house .

history

The house was built in 1488 on a late medieval substructure, which partly consists of humpback blocks, as a two-story half-timbered building. In the years 1766 and 1813/18 modifications were made. Among other things, a two-storey west wing was added, whereby parts of the old city wall were included. A late Gothic gate in the former city wall led to the Agnes cemetery. The extension was designed by Gottlieb Christian Eberhard von Etzel . It has the simple forms that are typical of Swabian classicism .

Facade facing the Abt-Fulrad-Strasse

The brickwork on the south side was renewed in 1921. In 1953, arcades were installed on the ground floor and a new portal on the east side. The Geiselbach vault is located under the house .

The house was used as a Latin school until 1910 . After the school moved to the new Georgii grammar school , the building was used for other uses; today it serves as the headquarters of the authorities.
