Architecture and history

The small half-timbered house was built around 1780. It is therefore much younger than the Finkenherd 1 and 2 houses, which were built in the 16th century. The compartments are lined with decorative bricks.

According to a legend, the surroundings of the house are considered to be the place where the Saxon Duke Heinrich learned during the bird trapping that he was elected German king. There is a plaque on the western facade of the building that refers to this legend.
