Mayor Hintze House
The Bürgermeister-Hintze-Haus (Wasser West 23) at the Old Hanseatic Harbor in Stade is a gabled house with a richly decorated Weser Renaissance facade.
It is named after its former owner, the mayor of Stade (1617–1646), shipowner and merchant Heino Hintze , who in 1621 had the magnificent front of the house displayed. The building was originally a typical late medieval merchant's house. There are seven turrets on the pompous gable , on the stone facade made of gray-white sandstone with surfaces made of plastered brick , dripping gold letters and mannerist facade stucco . The building was demolished in 1930 because it was in disrepair (floods, poor foundation ) and the facade was rebuilt with the old material that had been secured in 1932/33; behind it was a shortened new building.
The Mayor Hintze House is stylistically very similar to the Bremen commercial building built by Johann Nacke from 1619 to 1621 .
Today the building is used as a residential and commercial building. In the Schwedenspeicher, not far to the east, is the Museum of Stade City History .
