The property in direct location on what was then Lübeck's port market between Mengstrasse and Alfstrasse was first mentioned as developed in 1307. Back then it was directly opposite the on the banks of the Trave located down town scales that is proven since 1,262th The property at An der Untertrave 96 was linked to the property at Mengstrasse 39 and 41 from 1376 until it was sold in 1559. The plot of land on the Untertrave that remained after the sale is around 9.5 m wide, the depth of the sloping property on one of the foothills of the Lübeck Sanders towards the Trave varies between around 4.5 m at the southern firewall and around 7.5 m the northern firewall.

building
The four-storey half-timbered house is a specialty in Lübeck. On the ground floor there was a large storage room, the rear part of which is vaulted and paved with precious Gotland granite. The upper floors protrude and are supported on sandstone pillars, creating a kind of arcade . Each floor contains an apartment of the same type, with the lowest apartment having the highest ceiling height and a somewhat more expensive equipment (cassette ceiling instead of beamed ceiling). Originally the individual floors were connected by a spiral staircase, of which only remnants have survived.
1981-84 the building was renovated and examined in terms of its building history. Today it is used for events.

In 1606, the simple ceiling design on the 2nd floor was replaced by an ocher-colored painting with black mural paintings, which was supposed to simulate a wooden ceiling with inlays. Around 1670 the ceiling on the first floor was redesigned with landscape cartouches.
