Brüderstrasse (Halle)
The Brüderstraße in Halle is a historically important street in the city near the market square.
In the western part of the street, new or renovated buildings predominate, in which shops have settled, in the eastern part there are buildings from the Renaissance , Baroque and Wilhelminian periods , some of which are in a very poor condition. Two stumbling blocks for Bertha and Israel Meyerstein have been laid in front of the house at Brüderstraße 10, and two more for Max and Elvira Holländer are in front of No. 17.

history
In November 2011 the city councilor Roland Hildebrandt asked about the city's activities in the Brüderstraße. He pointed out the endangered structural fabric of buildings No. 5, 7 and 12 and explained that the street is one of the most important streets in the city, both in terms of town history and monument. In the answer it was admitted that ruinous buildings and undeveloped wastelands impair the quality of the streetscape, but for financial reasons a change is not in sight for the time being.
Buildings
The house with the address Brüderstraße 5 is a baroque building with a representative, by a central projections articulated façade on a medieval, kreuzgratgewölbten basement with three bays and slender central pillars and an adjacent, also kreuzgratgewölbten basement of the Baroque period. The portal, balcony and window frames as well as several stucco ceilings that date from when it was built around 1707 have been preserved in their original condition . The building was the home of the anatomist Philipp Theodor Friedrich Meckel from 1785 to 1799 and the outpatient clinic of the physician Peter David Krukenberg , to whom the house belonged from 1817 to 1840.
The history of the building is linked to that of the double site at Große Steinstraße 79/80. The house at Grosse Steinstrasse 79 was acquired in 1771 by Johann Christoph Weymann, secretary in the alms office. He bought it from the heirs of Hofrat Philipp Ernst Erpel. Erpel had acquired the entire property with today's addresses Brüderstraße 5 (at that time still referred to as No. 200 in Marienviertel) and Große Steinstraße 79/80 in 1708 and built a residential building on the older cellars in Brüderstraße. When it was sold to Weymann, the house and property were separated from the property at Brüderstraße 5. From 1817 the police commissioner Johann Christian Weinmann owned the house and land, in 1843 the second-hand dealer and boa manufacturer bought the property. His son Robert founded a furniture shop there in 1863, which was soon expanded to include a furniture factory, and in 1881 he bought the separated property at Brüderstraße 5 again. Between 1905 and 1907, Robert and Erich Bethmann had side and rear buildings with clinker and plastered facades built on their property. The designs came from the architects Lehmann & Wolff. After the Gebrüder Bethmann company fell victim to the economic crisis in 1931, the three houses were foreclosed and in 1933 or 1934 became the property of the German Lawyers and Notaries Insurance. This caused massive changes to the buildings in Große Steinstraße.
In 2004 the house at Brüderstraße 5, which had undergone fewer changes, was acquired by a buyer who later applied for demolition due to the desolate condition of the building and the high maintenance costs. The Upper Monument Protection Authority of the State of Saxony-Anhalt rejected this application because the buyer was informed about the condition of the house and also failed to take any maintenance measures. The owner therefore went to court. A settlement initially negotiated, according to which only the facade and the cellar of the house were to be preserved and parking spaces should be created behind the baroque walls, was subsequently revoked by the state administration. In order to clarify, an open-air negotiation was scheduled directly on the property. The owner of the house may be sued for failing to renovate the building. This would be the first such case in Saxony-Anhalt.
The house in Brüderstraße 6 dates from the second half of the 16th century. It is attributed to Nickel Hofmann .
In December 2011, the owner submitted an application to demolish the listed building at Brüderstraße 7 on the corner of Kleine Steinstraße. After violent protests from the population, it was decided to integrate the three-story half - timbered building from the 16th century into a new building that is to be built on the neighboring property. In the Brüderstraße 7 there was a restaurant called “Marktwirtschaft” until the 2000s.
Most of the architectural monument at Brüderstraße 12 dates from the late 16th century. The baroque-style four-wing complex has a glazed gallery and an elevator winch. The house was rebuilt in 1736. The stucco ceilings and the original doors have not been preserved.
