architecture

The gable of the Dietzenhaus in close-up

The building stands on a massive ground floor with unplastered sandstone blocks . A small gate and two windows are let into the northwest facade. Above the first floor is the half-timbered upper floor, whose compartments below the window parapets are filled with curved St. Andrew's crosses . The window frames are dark green, profiled and drilled . The gable, which extends over two attic floors, is particularly lavishly decorated. Its individual compartments are filled with neo-Gothic half - timbered ornamental forms of St. Andrew's crosses with wheel shapes and overlapping quarter circles as well as other, rather unusual ornamental fills. The execution shows the high level of craftsmanship of the carpenters as well as the wealth and demands of the builder.
