Architecture and history

West side, 1990

The small half-timbered house was built in the period after 1530, other sources assume that it was built around 1520 to 1540 or around 1500 . Previously, the churchyard of the Sankt-Johannis-Hospital was located here. On the west side of the multi-storey building , the steep gable roof protrudes over the facade into the street space. The existing roof was probably built in the Baroque period and is designed as a rafter roof with a tap beam.

The building's half-timbered posts span both floors. Tapped or leafed struts between the uprights and partly secured with wooden nails ensure the rigidity of the construction. Bends are used in the framework . The house stands on a sandstone base. The gable on the north side of the house has high stands , which were originally supported by two inclined struts. The eastern strut was severely shortened in the Baroque period because a window was added to the east side of the gable. During the construction period, the compartments were filled with a wickerwork of straw clay. The gable was then bricked up. Presumably, the framework of the gable was also renewed in the Baroque, with the exception of the top of the gable, using wood that had previously been used elsewhere. The south gable also represents the partition wall to house Finkenherd 2.

On the west facade, too, the posts from the construction period were shortened by the later installation of two small windows. In this wall there are profiled headbands between the posts and the ceiling beams. The window sashes from the baroque period with their floral decorated corner hinges and support brackets are remarkable . The entrance door on the right also shows features of the original state. The lintel is rounded and chamfered , and there are also two side head struts . The door leaf on it is a replica from 1980.

The room layout provided for entry into the living room of the house on the ground floor. The kitchen was in the east of the house. Two chambers were housed on a mezzanine floor and were accessible via a staircase attached to the inside of the house wall. This building floor plan is recorded on a drawing from 1910.

In 1815, the future landscape painter Wilhelm Steuerwaldt was born in Finkenherd 1.

In 1973 the state building supervision of the GDR ordered that the roof, the gutters, the gutters, the windows, the door and the door posts as well as the plastering of the ceilings had to be replaced.

In the upper compartments that originally featured paintings with Beistrichen and accompanying strokes like a cassette - painting mimic an optical depth. Small painted flowers and leaves that are dated to the construction time adorned the corners. The paintings were renewed in 1978 based on findings. There is a similar design in Quedlinburg in the hallway of Neustädter Kirchhof 7 .

In 1983/84 the VEB Monument Preservation repaired the houses Finkenherd 1 and 2. Parts of the half-timbering and the interior of the house were renewed. A small gallery was added in place of the mezzanine. To relieve the external walls, the renewed floor slab was supported on its own supports. Since the suitability for residential purposes is limited due to the low room heights, the two buildings were used for administrative and study purposes for the Lyonel-Feininger-Galerie located a little further to the west .
