Architecture and history

The three-storey half - timbered house was largely rebuilt around 1780, but parts of it are older. Remains of wall paintings and doors from the previous building have been preserved inside the house. Other information see the building as a new building. In terms of urban planning, it is of particular importance due to its striking corner location. The corner is emphasized by a small bay window . The framework is built in the form of the stand rhythm . The compartments are lined with bricks. There is also a profile board . The western part of the house is covered with a mansard roof.

The facade is painted yellow-gray and, according to the building studies, corresponds to the design around the year 1780. The half-timbered elements and the infill of the compartments are kept in the same tone. The belt cornices , on the other hand, are emphasized by a lighter color. However, this color design has only existed again since the beginning of the 21st century. At the end of the 20th century, the cornices and half-timbered elements were dark, but the compartments were painted light.

The room layout in the building has largely been preserved and has only been changed by installing modern sanitary rooms. Incidentally, various details of the interior design and furnishings have been preserved from the time of the renovation. The baroque front door with a skylight has been preserved. Doors inside the building were also created during this time. Some of them are painted and fitted with ornate fittings made of brass or wrought iron. In addition, the stairs with handrails and four-wing windows from this period are also present. Baroque wooden floors with their original structures and inlays have also been preserved in the building. In a room facing the street, a remnant of a baroque painting can be seen that originally took up the whole room.

The address book of the homeowners of the city of Quedlinburg from 1878 shows a merchant named Koch as the owner of the house. Around 1900 the house housed a shop for tropical fruits and delicacies under the name L. Beilfuß .

Street signs on the building, on the right the illegible sign with Cyrillic script in 2013

Due to its corner location, there are street signs on the house that point to the adjacent streets . Remarkable is a sign Блазиштрасе from the time after the Second World War , which gives the name Blasiistraße in Cyrillic script . The sign goes back to a request by the Soviet occupying power, according to which, in addition to place and street names, Cyrillic lettering should also be used to make it easier for members of the occupation forces to find their way around. While similar signs were later removed elsewhere, the sign at Blasiistraße 16 was only visible again after the facade had been cleaned. In the meantime, however, it was difficult to read due to contamination.
