Architecture and history

The three-storey building was erected in 1904 in massive construction by the architect Max Schneck . It is registered in the Quedlinburg monument register as a residential and commercial building. Schneck designed several other buildings in the vicinity, including the house at Heiligegeiststrasse 4 . The building owner of the building at Heiligegeiststrasse 1 was the bookseller Paul Deter . He had bought the property in March 1904 from the township of Quedlinburg. Previously, the property belonged to the site of the former Sankt Spiritus Hospital . The baroque buildings were demolished after the hospital was relocated and the property was sold in 1902. Deter planned to set up a book and shoe store on the ground floor. There is still a bookstore in the house today. The upper floors each have two apartments, while the top floor was only partially expanded.

The Art Nouveau facade is richly decorated and with a stair frieze on Gothic references. The gables show elements of the Renaissance style . The stylized curtain arches inserted into the sandstone above the windows can also be assigned to the Neo-Renaissance style. The walls are smoothly plastered, which makes the sandstone decorations stand out in a special way, especially on the frames of the windows and on the verge of the gable. The tower-like bay window at the corner of the building is particularly striking. The parapets of the bay window have decorations in the form of foliage.

To a large extent, the house was built in massive construction. In the area of ​​a wide window on the second floor on the side facing the street Am Hospital , a half-timbered imitation made of stone was inserted.

A wing of the building extends to the north along the street Am Hospital , the industrial architecture of which is based on the design of the medieval north German trading house. There is a brick architecture, blind arches and a neo-Gothic stepped gable . At the urging of the municipal building authority, the half-timbered construction was used for the two upper floors and a gable. The historicist framework shows a variety of decorations. There are stair friezes and dew sticks on the threshold . The filler woods show ship throats and stylized cylinder beam heads. In addition, there are the double, stiff St. Andrew's crosses , which are not usual for Quedlinburg half-timbered construction . In addition to other carvings, an inscription reminding of the builder Paul Deter can be seen: BUILT IN 1904 BUILD YOUR REASON ON GOD AND RIGHTLY SO YOU HAVE BUILT HERE AND IN ETERNITY PAUL DETER .

While the wing on Heiligegeiststrasse is 30 meters long, the north wing extends over 13 meters.

A courtyard wing of the property has four floors with an elevator and loading hatches .

In the local register of monuments , the residential and commercial building is recorded as a monument under registration number 094 45803 .
