The Gasthaus Zum Weißen Roß is a listed inn from the 17th century in Darmstadt-Arheilgen in Hesse .
History and description
The Gasthaus Zum Weißen Roß was built before 1640. The stately Franconian Hofreite in hook shape includes the buildings at Messeler Strasse 10 and 12 . In 1640 the property was taken over by the shepherd Johannes Andres. The shepherd Andres ran a sheep farm behind the property . In 1680 the Count Salomon Knauff acquired the Hofreite and built a spacious inn. The inn and the side buildings were connected by a gate in 1704. In 1785 the building was renovated. The upper part of the gate entrance - a triangular gable with attached sandstone spherical decorations - probably dates from around 1785.
The structure has:
- a plastered , large-volume, gable-facing house with a hipped mansard roof
- a smaller outbuilding with a gable roof
- a closed arched gate that connects the two buildings
- in the gable of the archway a coat of arms with a jumping horse and a plaque with the name of the builder and the date 1704
The Hofreite was changed by installing a shop later.
Varia
The Goethe-Merck memorial plaque in the middle above the ground floor of the main building is based on a house mix-up. The historically correct location would be the Messeler Strasse 6-8 property , which once belonged to the Merck family .
Monument protection
For architectural and city history reasons, the building is a cultural monument .
