Building description
Dendrochronological studies have shown that the half-timbered house was built around 1412. The usual construction of the late Middle Ages was the ridge post construction with long, strong timbers. Here, in the new storey construction , slender woods were used; It can therefore be assumed that no strong long trunks could be felled in the forests at that time. The storey building is characterized by only storey-high walls in the outer wall structure, for which short, slender timbers were used at a short distance. The Alemannic bay windows with protruding window frames and the floor-high, overlapping struts are also new . The Swabian man used here originated in the first half of the 15th century. Only the right eaves side of the ground floor is designed as half-timbering, the other sides are bricked with house stones made of local sandstone . Many original parts are still present in the three attics.
