description

The ensemble includes the entire clustered village except for the houses No. 43 and 36 to the north. The Evangelical Lutheran parish church of St. Bartholomew was built in 1869 with the old 17th century tower.

The place is mainly characterized by the buildings of the 19th century, as most of the farmhouses , mostly ground-floor plastered gable roof buildings , date from this time. Only the inn , the rectory and the former smithy differ from these as hipped , half-hipped or mansard roof buildings from the 17th to 19th centuries.

The clustered village is criss-crossed by an irregular road ring with square-like forks and dead ends, giving the impression of a random arrangement of the houses. The residential parts of the farmhouses are preferably oriented with their gables facing the street, so that streets and squares are framed several times at the gable. Despite some modern buildings, the appearance of the place has been preserved with a highly uniform effect.
