description
The three-story corner house dates back to the 16th century. On the upper floors, the building is essentially a half-timbered house and has architectural axes in a ratio of five to five. On the north side, the gable roof is pulled down to the second floor. The upper floors are cantilevered , resting on a solidly bricked ground floor . On the north and east sides there is a basket arch frieze on consoles above the ground floor . The gabled house has entrances on the front and back. At the beginning of the 2010s, a solvent deflagration took place during renovation work on the ground floor, as a result of which demolition due to insufficient stability was discussed.
Up until the Reformation in Memmingen, the building housed an imperial city brothel. The prostitutes , then known as "pretty women", were among the outsiders of society.
