Architecture and history

The half-timbered house was built in 1695. In the Quedlinburg monument register , it is referred to as a merchant's house. The half-timbered facade is decorated in the style of the construction period. There is the half-timbered figure of the half man , wooden fillers , cleats and profiled parapet planks . Noteworthy is a door decorated with carvings in the classicism style from around 1820. Large windows were also added at this time.

The property is of particular importance for the history of the city, as Heinrich Conrad Huch , the founder of the Harz Club , ran his publishing bookstore here in the 19th century .

Towards Jüdengasse there is a three-storey warehouse from the 18th century, also built in half-timbered construction. The Jewish Benedikti Parochial School, founded in 1824 and initially housed in Hell 5 , was located on the second floor of the warehouse . Possibly the name of the Jüdengasse goes back to this circumstance.
