Half-timbered house (Schäferhaus)
The half-timbered house (Schäferhaus) is a listed building in the town of Teupitz in the Dahme-Spreewald district in Brandenburg .
location
The building with the address Schäferweg 2 stands southwest of the city center on a small path that branches off to the west shortly after the end of Baruther Straße at the transition to Gutzmannstraße . Opposite the path is a footpath that leads to Tornower Weg in the eastern part of the city. To the west of the building is Lake Teupitz .
history
For many centuries, the region was under the influence of the Schenk von Landsberg family , who also lived at Teupitz Castle on Lake Teupitz. The right to keep 1,090 sheep has been handed down from 1590 . Thus, among other things, the taverns generated income from the sale of sheep products. The breeding of the animals did not take place directly on Lake Teupitz right from the start: until the Thirty Years War, there was an agricultural operation at the Hohen Mühle in Tornow . It was destroyed in the war, so that the remaining animals came to Teupitz. In 1717 the lands were sold to Friedrich Wilhelm I , including the right to keep around 1,000 sheep. They were looked after by shepherds employed by the city , for whom the city had a shepherd's house built in 1777. In 1868 this form of collective sheep breeding was abolished by a recess - from now on every farmer could keep the animals on his own responsibility. The original purpose of the building was thus obsolete and poor people and widows from the city moved into the house. The house retained this function until the 1970s. In 1973, a couple from Berlin leased the building after they had only been allowed to use a single room at the weekend. On June 4, 1980 it was listed as a historical monument. In 1982 they bought the building. The property remained in public ownership ; However, the residents were granted an unlimited right of use so that they could begin with the renovation. After the fall of the Wall , the house owners were able to buy the property with effect from December 1, 1993. The access road was named Schäferweg on May 16, 2002.
architecture
The building consisted of two halves, each divided into two rooms. This resulted in a total of four residential units. They had a smoke kitchen and a smokehouse. Due to the location on the lake and the flat bank, the shepherds were able to wash the animals before shearing. According to a chronicler, the roof is said to have been covered with reeds at an earlier time. The flat building with a rectangular floor plan is executed in half-timbering . The framework was built with black wooden beams, while the compartment consists of clay painted white. The gable roof is covered with a reddish beaver tail .
