Architecture and history

The splendid four-storey town house was built on the basis of a building inscription from 1710. However, other information does not give the date of origin until the end of the 19th century and only relate the inscription 1710 to the portal itself and parts of the ground floor. In the time around 1760 Chamber Councilor Heinrich Salfeldt is named as taxable for the property managed as a residential building with brewing rights. Although it is built in half-timbered construction, it appears, due to the street-side facade, in its appearance as a solid building in the style of the Dutch Renaissance . The ground floor of the baroque- style building has been preserved in its original form with the pilasters framed and decorated with acanthus decor . However, the shops on the ground floor were built around 1820 in the neo-Gothic style . Originally there are also two curved windows on the ground floor. The facade of the upper floors was redesigned around 1900 in the style of historicism . The building has one with a hatch provided dormer . The facade facing the courtyard is made with visible half-timbering.

There is a strong cranked door in the doorway.

After the fall of the Wall in 1990, a renovation was initiated, but this did not go beyond a renewal of the roofing. The property has been in the possession of a Berlin family since 2020, who have initiated an extensive renovation in line with listed buildings.

Large farm buildings and storage facilities belong to the property. These half-timbered buildings date from the beginning of the 18th century.

In the local register of monuments , the merchant's yard is listed as a monument under registration number 094 45568 .
