Architecture and history

The three-storey early baroque half-timbered house was built in 1687 by the Quedlinburg master carpenter Andreas Besen . The inscription A.BESEN Z.MANN refers to him . However, the core of the building may be older. This is indicated by a massive wall on the ground floor of the north gable. A polygonal bay window in the middle of the first floor is characteristic of the appearance of the house . There is an inscription on both the bay window and the threshold of the house. The facade of the second floor is decorated with diamond crosses .

The vaulted cellar of the house probably comes from a previous building. There is a water well in one of the three basement rooms.

The mayor of Quedlinburg and writer Johann August Donndorff (1754–1837) lived in the house from 1800 to 1837 . A plaque attached to the house commemorates him.

A church bell hangs in the hallway of the building. In addition, there is a Protestant pictorial history and sayings. In 1998, after the removal of thick clay plaster, it was found that on the inside of the gable walls, large, interrelated murals that took up the entire wall of the room had been painted directly on the sandstone . The remains that have been preserved show a figurative representation that could possibly be interpreted as a deer , cuboids, remains of frames and larger blocks of script contained therein.
