description
The half-timbered house, renovated in 1988/89, has a simple external wall structure with wall-high struts and straight St. Andrew's crosses . The windows on the ground floor and the first floor have been enlarged. Only the upper of the two attic floors protrudes. Half-timbered oriels are very rarely found in the Kraichgau . It is set in front of the gable side outside midday and is designed on four sides. A steep roof covers it and long support struts hold it from below.
On the eaves side a stone double-sided staircase, which was probably only roofed later, leads to the living area. The arched entrance to the cellar is between the two staircases.
