history

The building had a width of 20 spans and four floors, whereby the lower two floors were designed as a solid Gothic building, on which two half-timbered floors were later placed. It is believed that the masonry basement floors may have been built in the 13th or 14th century. The back of the building, however, was entirely half-timbered. The gable walls were also solidly bricked up to the ridge. Wood sculptor Simon Stappen created various carvings, including the foliage stick above the solid building. The year 1517 and the inscription "Och we kans geramen" were written on the stick. Above the gate there were four cleats with figurative representations of St. Andrew, St. Magnus, the holy author , Braunschweig's city saint, and St. Anna herself . In the hall on the first floor there was a head- high beam scale that had been in use for generations. A cannonball was embedded in one of the two firewalls , which is said to have been fired during the siege of the city by Duke Friedrich Ulrich's troops of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel in 1615 . The building was renovated around 1880. Finally, the sugar and was in the house grocery store Gebr. Dannebaum.

During the Second World War, an air raid shelter with space for 200 people was set up in Dannenbaum's house . A leaf stick recovered from the rubble of the house is now integrated in the house "Behind the Magni Church 2".
