Butter house
Butter houses were shops selling dairy products. In a classification of twelve Hanseatic cities , the term is handed down in a memorial verse:
Lübeck, a department store; Cologne, a wine house; Braunschweig, an armory; Danzig, a granary; Hamburg, a brewery; Magdeburg, a bakery; Rostock, a malt house; Lüneburg, a salt house; Szczecin, a fish house; Halberstadt, a women's refuge; Riga, a hemp and butter house; Reval, a wax and flat house; Krakow, a copper house; Visby, a house of pitch and tar.
A range that has been expanded beyond butter is known from the Central Butter House as a tobacco shop and delicatessen in Osterfeld (before 1935).
Butter House Roland
Butterhaus Roland was a chain of butter shops in several cities of the German Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. A well-known illustration of a Butter-HAUS Roland sign is the photo of the sailors' uprising in Wilhelmshaven in 1918.
Dresden Butter House
In 1895, the Dresdner Butterhaus was a joint venture between several Dresden dairies.
architecture
The last major building project by the Dutch architect Bartholomeus van Bassen was the Boterhuis on the Prinsegracht.
Butter stand, butter boat
Butter was sold at butter stalls at weekly markets. For the boat market in Helsinki at the beginning of the 20th century, farmers brought their products from the islands to the city in boats, thus avoiding butter stalls.
Butter houses in the present
In Germany - and Boterhuis in the Netherlands - the term butter house is now mainly used as a name for holiday apartments and hotels.
