The building in Messerzeile 2 is a two-story saddle roof house with a triangular gable and four upper floor axes. It was built in the 16th century.

Above the arched entrance door there is a rectangular niche with a figure of the Madonna . The building is now a listed building .

History as a sculptor's house

Main and side altars in Marienberg

After the death of the Burghausen sculptor Johann Jakob Schnabl in 1756, his wife initially continued the workshop in the Grüben . After she also died two years later, the sculptor Johann Georg Lindt , who was working as a journeyman in Schnabl's workshop at the time , was given sculptor justice. This was made possible by the approval of the city and after he married Schnabl's eldest daughter Franziska.

On April 15, 1763, Lindt moved the workshop to Messerzeile 2 after buying the building from master tailor Rupert Pernsperger. Lindt's most important work of art was the sculpting for the church in Marienberg . Other examples of his work are the figure of St. Sebastian in St. Jakob and the guardian angel group of the Holy Guardian Angel Monastery (both in Burghausen). Ignaz Günther also worked in the workshop for a short time .

After Lindt's death in 1795, Thomas Jorhan, a son of Christian Jorhan the Elder , continued to run the workshop, but was no longer very successful.
