Architecture and history

According to an inscription on the building, the important trading yard was built in 1612 for the mayor Nikolaus Schultheiss and his third wife. According to other information, Nicolaus Schultze is considered the client. The master builder was Andreas Rühle (senior), although the then young Wulf Götze was also suspected to be involved and in some cases indicated as the only one. The upper floor clearly protrudes over the lower floor. The eaves side of the building faces the street. The design was in the style of the Renaissance . The half-timbered facade is one of the richly decorated facades of this time in Quedlinburg. Particularly noteworthy are the parapet planks that are rarely carved in Quedlinburg . In addition to purely decorative carvings such as plant ornaments, coats of arms and blind arcades can be found on them . There are motifs from stone construction. The coats of arms refer to the builder Nicolaus Schultze and his wife Margaret or Margarete Lauch . The wife was the daughter of the mayor Sebastian Lauch . Your coat of arms contains three spring onions . Another coat of arms is the coat of arms of the Quedlinburg monastery. In addition, there is the trade mark of the council carpenter Andreas Rühle with the initials M AR . A double-headed eagle with a carpenter's hatchet is a reference to the carpenter Wulf Götze. On the upper floor carved knags and dewsticks were used , some with masks.

In the basement, which was formerly also built in half-timbered construction, there was a large two-winged gate. The fields of the gate panels were decorated with carvings. The wings of the gate, which varied in width, were separated by a column that was also lavishly decorated with carvings.

In the following time the building served as a residence for wealthy Quedlinburg citizens. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Syndicus Dr. Burchard Tilemann and 1745 lawyer Andreas Stöken . At times it was the carpenters' guild house and had a hall and guest room . It was probably used as a restaurant from the 19th century. The name of the house is derived from the restaurant Zur Rose .

In a description of the building from 1850, a porch is described for the right side of the house, which took up the entire length of the facade. At the time the house had 17 windows. The head struts are shown as decorated with grimaces.

At the north end of the house, a protruding bay window with three windows was added, but it was removed again in 1893. At the same time, the house received larger windows and a centrally located door to the restaurant. A previously existing mezzanine was removed. The gateway also disappeared. The pillar of the gate was later reused in an entrance created around 1900.

In 1893, a neighboring house that had existed until then was demolished in order to enable the road to be widened in view of the increasing traffic. According to another statement, the side wings of the house burned down in 1893. As of this year, the rose has been a free-standing corner building. In 1895 the ground floor was renewed in massive construction. However, the half-timbered entrance was retained. Except for the larger windows, the upper floor has not been changed. Originally the third floor had a ribbon of windows . On the roof, slightly offset from the center, was a dwelling .

The half-timbered courtyard wing was built in the 18th century.
