Architecture and history
According to the year above the portal of the house, the patrician house was built in 1701. The facade was built solid and is plastered. Otherwise, the building is designed as a half-timbered house . A large gate passage, closed by a gate, leads through the house and leads through a Tuscan column portal. Loaded horse-drawn vehicles could also enter the yard of the property through the passage. From there, the goods could be stored in the storage facilities there. In 1770 the house was renovated in the late baroque style . The Kranz merchant family lived in the house in the 18th century . The name Haus Grünhagen goes back to the family of the cloth manufacturer Grünhagen , who later owned the building.

The gate to the courtyard is designed as a pilaster gate and decorated with rococo carvings. In the roof on the courtyard side there is a dwelling with a loading hatch . The courtyard buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries. There is also a reconstructed fountain there.
A curved wooden staircase, which is flanked by a lion with a shield, leads to the upper floor. There are carved balusters in the stairwell as decoration . The interior of the house is partly original. Wallpaper in the classical style is noteworthy .
In March 1894 the previous building of the neighboring building Markt 3 was demolished. Parts of the gable wall of the Grünhagenhaus also collapsed. In some of the rooms in the building, the outer wall was already missing until long spruce trunks were quickly brought in for support.
In 1945 the music teacher Kurt Johnen and his wife founded a municipal conservatory from their own resources , which in 1949 became the State Conservatory of Saxony-Anhalt . In 2006 the renovation of the Grünhagen house by the municipal housing company WoWi was completed. On the ground floor of the house is (as of 2014), a shop for sports equipment operated by former Olympic champion Waldemar Cierpinski .
