Dreigiebelhaus (Duisburg)
The three-gable house is considered to be the oldest residential building in Duisburg . It is located in the old town at Nonnengasse 8. It owes its name to the three stepped gables standing next to each other .
The three-gabled house was first mentioned in a document in 1536. The three-gabled house can be seen on a plan by Johannes Corputius from 1566. In 1608 the nuns of the Duissern monastery took over the building. Due to the secularization after the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , it was used as a textile factory from 1806.
The city of Duisburg bought the building in 1961 and extensively renovated it in 1976. Since then, studios with accommodation for Lehmbruck scholarship holders have been housed there. The painter and sculptor Kurt Budewell lived and worked there from 1984 to 2007 . There was also a restaurant in the three-gabled house from 1976 to 2018.
