Burgstrasse 39 (Eppstein)
The half-timbered house at Burgstrasse 39 in Eppstein was built as an inn . As a cultural monument, it is under monument protection .
The inn ("Zum Hirschen") existed since 1671. The name of the inn probably refers to the heraldic animal of the noble family Stolberg , who were co-owners of Eppstein. The year 1671 is also indicated on the tavern sign from 1792. This is located in the local history museum.
The gable-side half-timbered house with a side extension dates from the time it was founded. The continuous arbor facing the street on wooden posts with carved lugs was added in 1939 using older parts. The house has high-quality exposed framework with strong corner posts and curved angle timbers. Three half- man figures are recognizable . The towing roof is located above the half-timbered extension on the eaves side.
In 1937 the last host of the Hirschen, the unmarried Adolf Guckes, died. After his death, the inn was given up and the house was used as a residential building.
