The external appearance with numerous decorations has remained unchanged since the beginning of the 17th century.

The house Brückengasse 11 in Limburg an der Lahn is a listed half-timbered house in the immediate vicinity of the Old Lahn Bridge and visibility of the St. Johannes Chapel .

The three-story half-timbered house was built around 1600, previous buildings in the same place can be dated back to the beginning of the 15th century. Henrich Gerlach (Becker) has owned the property since 1568 and is therefore considered the likely builder. In 1615 Dietrich Becker (Leicht) , presumably the son of the previous owner, took over the property. The associated rear building was known as the bakery from 1598 until the early 18th century .

In 1655 the half-timbered house came into the possession of the descendants of the Limburg mayor Johann Müller, before it was bought by the book printer Georg Adam Schlinck in 1829 . He set up a print shop on the ground floor, in which the first city newspaper appeared in 1838 with the “ Limburger Wochenblatt ” he founded . In the following hundred years, the building housed various newspaper publishers - as far back as 1937, it is documented as the headquarters of the “ Lahnzeitung ”, a successor to the Wochenblatt. In the course of this commercial use, there were various conversions inside, and in 1924 an extension was built on the eastern side of the eaves.

The building at Brückengasse 11 is a listed building for historical, cultural and urban planning reasons. In the justification, in addition to a "high importance for the environment", also "interest in local history" due to its use as a printer for the first Limburg newspaper.
