Architecture and history

The large half-timbered house was built together with the neighboring house to the north in 1551. The builder was the council treasurer Joachim Quenstedt. Particularly striking is the southern gable wall facing Bockstrasse, on which the decorations from the construction period have been preserved. In addition to the barrel-shaped beam heads and the neck of the ship, there are also wavy ribbons , fan rosettes on the wooden base angles and headband with overlapping. The gable triangle above the upper floor is ten meters high.

The compartments were filled with loam mesh. It consisted of a wavy, one centimeter thick plaster made of lime plaster provided with stone chips . The plaster was originally painted lime white, while the framework elements were painted an oxide red color. In the course of the 16th century, an oxide-red comma followed in the compartments. Today's color scheme goes back to the original design.

The property initially formed a unit with the adjacent house to the north. The Quenstedt family remained the owners of the complex, which was used as a farm and brewery, until the end of the 17th century. It was then used as an inn. Heinrich Christian Bertram divided the land in the 18th century.

The western facade facing the Breite Straße was changed in the 18th century. The ground floor and mezzanine are partly solid. During the renovation of the first floor in 1866, a block room made of lying half-timber was demolished without recognizing the importance of the original design that was otherwise not preserved in Quedlinburg. A shop was built in the period of late classicism .
