Great Märkerstrasse
The Große Märkerstraße in Halle (Saale) is located in the immediate center of the city. It was one of the most representative streets in Halle and up until the 19th century it was mainly inhabited by scholars.
Geographical location
The street begins at the southeast end of the market square between Schmeerstrasse in the west and Leipziger Strasse in the east. It runs north-south. The Kuhgasse, the Kleine Märkerstrasse and the Kutschgasse flow into it. It is crossed by Sternstraße after about 240 meters. After about 300 meters the street joins the Großer Berlin street.
history
Street
The first written mention of the street comes from the year 1315 as Merkelinstrate or Merclines Strate . It was named after the Merkelin family. These originally had a courtyard on the site of the street. This fell apart and the sex probably died out. In 1369 it was noted that the patrician Jacub Kindau is the owner of the house at the grape in the street. In the same year the street was recorded as Merkilstrate and in 1456 as Mereklinstrate in the jury books. Especially at the beginning of the 15th century there was a lot of building activity in the street.
On September 17, 1683, there was a fire in the streets of Kleiner and Großer Berlin. Due to the destruction of the buildings, the Große Märkerstraße, which until then ended in the Kleiner Berlin at the Gasthof Zum Goldenen Stern , was extended to the Großer Berlin. Around 1800 the street was counted among the most beautiful streets of Halle and equated with Steinstraße, Ulrichstraße and the old market.
In 1920 the width of the street was described as "initially about ten paces, later at most twelve paces wide" . The Second World War caused little damage to the buildings on the street. In the following decades, however, the building fabric was hardly taken into account by city planning, which left the buildings to decay.
At the beginning of 1990, the renovation of the street buildings began. The first buildings to be renovated were houses with the numbers 6, 10, 12, 20 and 27. Construction work had started on buildings 11, 13, 18, 21, 22 and 23, houses 5, 14, 19, 25 and 26 were still without any renovation activities. In 1992 the city of Halle took part in the competition "Preservation of the historical urban space in the new states of the Federal Republic of Germany". The city's activities were particularly recognized with regard to Grosse Märkerstrasse and Kleine Ulrichstrasse . The 1994 report of the evaluation committee states: “The Große Märkerstraße, one of the most important and oldest streets in the old town, which was built in 1,000 years, is changing from a 'street of ruins' in 1989 to 'street of redevelopment' 1993” on July 12, 1994 eight information boards were officially inaugurated on the buildings along the street. The panels were designed by Hannelore Heise and Sigrid Deutloff and made from Jura marble by the Himburg stonemason. They contain information about the former residents of the respective buildings.
Individual houses
Number 2 to 4
The original house with the number 2 was probably built by Stephan Merten around 1553. Georg Friedrich Handel learned to play the oboe here from Michael Hyntsch around 1700.
Number 3 was the home of wealthy patricians in the 15th century. The city physicist Dr. Johann Machold (1521-1605). In 1884 the house became the seat of the musical instrument building and trading company of Herrmann Müller. After the Second World War the company was continued as the Musikhaus Centrum before a textile shop moved there.
The 4 was also a patrician house. In 1726, Dr. Paul Hippius, descendant of the Bohemian family von Konitzscheck , rebuilt in the baroque style and put his coat of arms with a crown over the portal. From 1825 to the end of the 1860s, Prof. Dr. Gottlob Wilhelm Gerlach owner of the house. The house was badly damaged in a bombing raid in 1945.

Number 5
House number 5, today in a very poor structural condition and in need of restoration, is one of the most historically important buildings on the street. Originally at the address Ulrichsviertel 395 there was a house built at the beginning of the 16th century. The first documented owner is Hans Vester, who bought the house in 1510. The council chamberlain Halles David Drachstedt and the city archivist Carl August Wesener continued to live in the house. In 1717, Professor Justus Henning Böhmer (1674–1749) acquired the property and had a new building built on it by 1719. This ornate building in the style of Northern European Baroque was also praised by contemporaries for its interior decoration and the design of the courtyard. When Böhmer died, his youngest son Philipp Adolph Böhmer (1716–1789) became the owner of the building.
In 1817 Dr. Wilhelm Hermann Niemeyer (1788–1840), later director of the maternity hospital at the university, owner of Märkerstraße 5. Both his practice and his apartment were located here. Niemeyer rented the middle floor to Prof. Georg Friedrich Kaulfuß (1786–1830). After Niemeyer's death, the merchant Ludwig Flöthe acquired the building and rented it to scholars from the university. So lived u. a. Hermann Knoblauch (1820–1895) and Richard von Volkmann (1830–1889) here. On April 1, 1896, Heinrich Lindner, a grandson of the car manufacturer Heinrich Lindner, moved into the first floor of Grosse Märkerstrasse 5. In 1933 the house became the property of the Klopfleisch family. At the end of the 1980s, the south and east wings of the house were demolished due to the state of construction. The house, which is structurally in a poor structural condition, is very richly furnished inside. The hall is generously dimensioned and equipped with a column. In the living rooms on the first floor there is wood paneling, leather wallpapers and an artistic parquet. Furthermore, almost every room has a fireplace or tiled stove. The former ballroom is located on the second floor and extends over almost the entire floor. The style is a mix of baroque and rococo . In 1988 the south wing was demolished because it was in disrepair. In 2008 the listed building, which in the meantime belonged to the Bayerische Hypovereinsbank, was bought by the city of Halle, which, however, let it fall into disrepair due to lack of funds. In September 2016, the city announced that it had sold the house again so that it could be restored and refurbished in accordance with listed buildings with subsidies .

Number 6 - Weymarsche's house
According to Lehnbuch, the first owner of Grosse Märkerstraße 6 was Martin Reiche, who sold the house to the Breslau doctor Georg Laurea in 1557 . Laurea, previously the personal physician of the Brandenburg Electors Joachim II , Johann Georg and Joachim Friedrich , became the personal physician of Archbishop Sigismund in 1566, who resided in the Moritzburg in Halle. After Laurea's death, his son-in-law Balthasar Brunner took over the property. Brunner was the personal physician of the Prince of Anhalt, ran his own practice and did chemical research. Due to his good economic situation, Brunner acquired Grosse Märkerstraße 10 in 1587 and moved there. He sold the 6 to a Hans Schmidt.
In 1784 the building became the property of master linen weaver Johann Christian Weymar. The building remained in the possession of this family until 1846 and was therefore called Weymarsches Haus . Around 1830, the Jewish professor of philology Gottfried Bernhardy (1800–1875) moved into the house. He lived at Grosse Märkerstrasse 6 until 1848. Another well-known former resident of number 6 was the doctor Dr. Gustav Albert Hüllmann (1824–1899). In January 1850 he moved his practice from Grosse Ulrichstraße 24 here and stayed at 6th until 1865. In the 19th century, the building was redesigned and continued to be both residential and commercial. Even today (2007) the 2nd floor of the house is still inhabited.
Number 7
House number 7 is a Renaissance house from the 16th century. Originally the house had the address Ulrichsviertel 397. In 1854 the house was given the number 410, from 1855 the number 8 and since 1893 it has the number 7. The first recorded owner of the house is Augustinus Krause, a member of the town council and Pfänner who bought the building in 1544. In 1597, Heinrich Brandes, the court medic of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg, moved into the house for two years. In 1618 Caspar Neef, who lived in today's number 7 in 1661, bought it. In 1681 the lawyer and later councilor Konrad Bertram became the owner of the house. He lived there until his death in 1722 or 1733
In 1750 the house was offered for sale to the public for 1827 thalers and acquired by the administrator Johann Georg Müller. It remained in the family's possession even after his death. In 1846 the farmer Carl Eduard Sachse purchased the property. Otto Julius Ludwig then paid 7,500 thalers to acquire number 7. Since the latter got into financial difficulties three years later, he also sold it to the AW Barnitson & Son bank for 7,500 thalers .
In 1853 a drug and paint shop was founded in the house , which Wilhelm Kathe (1840–1909) bought together with the building in 1871 for 14,000 thalers. Wilhelm Kathe was the youngest son of the saddler and wagon master Ludwig Kathe . The Kathes company did well and was converted into a public company in 1921. In 1921 there were 36 workers, 60 women workers and 111 salaried employees. The company was constantly expanding, but suddenly had to go into liquidation in 1925. When the liquidation was completed by 1933, the Hallesche Druckerei-Gesellschaft mbH owned the house. During the Second World War , the house was badly hit in a bomb attack on March 31, 1945, but could be rebuilt a little shortened.
The doctor and author Fritz Kahn , who was born in 1888, also spent his first years in this house before he moved to Hoboken with his mother and siblings in 1893 after his father Arthur Kahn, who had already emigrated to the USA .
Number 8 & 9
_05.jpg)
The number 8 no longer exists since a bomb hit during the air raid on March 13, 1945. The first owner of this house known by name was a Hans Hauskompter, which is documented for the year 1513. From around 1700 until his death on January 19, 1748, the professor of law Johann Gerhard Schlitte lived in this house. In 1750 his widow sold the house to the landlord Mörtschke, who set up a dining establishment with an inn , presumably mainly for students. On December 11, 1756, the second Hallesche Masonic Lodge, the Philadelphia for the three golden arms, was founded at number 8 . In the 19th century, the house was rebuilt to meet current tastes.
The house with the number 9 was probably built in 1561 by the council builder Nickel Hoffmann . The year 1561 can be found above the gate entrance. The client for the building was presumably Urban Poplitz, who bought the property in 1543.

Number 10 - Christian Wolff House
Große Märkerstraße 10 is on the corner of Kleiner Berlin . The Renaissance building was built around 1558 by Nickel Hofmann on behalf of Balthasar Freudemann. In place of the current building there was probably a building as early as the late 15th century. The first owner listed in the loan book is Ambrosius Gottschalk. In 1587, Dr. Balthasar Brunner, previously also the owner of number 6, the house. Various other owners followed before, on December 16, 1699, Dr. Ernst Heinrich Knorre (1668–1732) took over the house. Historian Christoph Wagner moved in as a tenant in 1725. Some time later, he took a position as a librarian and teacher in Blankenburg am Harz, before he returned, following a call from the University of Halle. But he left Halle again because the university stopped bothering him “because of some incorrect doctrines” . After Knorr's death, Johann Gottlieb Heineccius (1681–1741) acquired the building in 1733 . The professor of law and philosophy lived here during his stay in Halle and died here. After his death in November 1741, the professor of philosophy and mathematics Christian Wolff (1679–1754), who had returned to Halle, bought the property for 3,400 thalers. He also lived here until his death. His widow remained the owner of the house. After her death, Professor Christian Weber (–1762) purchased the house in 1761. Weber died in February of the following year. With his death, the time of Grosse Märkerstraße 10 as a professors' house also ended . On May 7, 1764, the printer Johann Justinus Gebauer (1710–1772) bought the property for 4,250 Reichstaler. Gebauer had been running the printing press in Halle since 1733 and with the acquisition of the house he enlarged his production facility, which was the largest printing press in Halle when he died. The business was continued and expanded by the following generations. The printing company was transformed into a limited liability company in 1902 and a public limited company in 1923 . After the Second World War and the occupation of Halle by the Red Army , many machines were dismantled and taken to the Soviet Union . In the back of the 10, the production of the VEB printing company began . The local history museum of the city of Halle was set up in the house on March 21, 1954 with the exhibition Halle 1800–1815 . The Christian-Wolff-Haus has been the headquarters of the Halle City Museum since 2005 .

Number 11
Today's Große Märkerstraße 11 housed one of the Gasthof Zum golden Stern . In 1833 the property became the property of the sugar manufacturer Krüger, whose son-in-law Hermann Ferdinand Frenkel built a villa-like high-rise here. In the 1870s, Frenkel left the house to various users. For example the central office for the proof of rural workers and servants and the general agency of the fire insurance bank for Germany in Gotha . The company Gebr. Ziegler maintained a large-scale distillation on the property for several years from 1843. In 1920 the business premises of the until then in Dorotheenstr. 9 Ottomaar Brehmer liqueur factory to be found here. The company later acquired the property and produced here until the 1950s. In August 1992 the building was extensively restored.
Number 12
Große Märkerstraße 12 closes the eastern side of the street in the direction of Großer Berlin . The main entrance is in Große Berlin, so the address was "Großer Berlin 417" until 1854, then Große Märkerstraße 13 until 1893 and since then number 12. Compared to the other buildings on Große Märkerstraße, the house is simple. From the 1830s, Johann Schwabe's paper wallpaper factory was located here. In 1868 the building was converted into a residential building. From 1863 to 1858 the later director of the Stadtgymnasium auf der Lucke Otto Nasemann (1821–1895) lived here . In 1873, Dr. Adalbert Jahn the house.

Number 13
Große Märkerstraße 13 is a late classicist house that was restored around the turn of the millennium. The building contract for the building was given in 1876 by Otto Kopf, who had a branch for the rum, essence and liquor factory Gebr. Kopf built here. The 13 was inhabited from 1881 to 1884 by Prof. Ernst Schmidt (1845-1921). After Kopf died, the house remained in the possession of his widow for the time being, who then sold it in 1908 to the merchant Eugen Ehrlich for 65,000 marks, although Ehrlich was only able to pay 9,000 marks immediately. In 1910 the branch was demolished and a villa was built in Grauputz in its place . Ehrlich got into economic difficulties and in 1911 was forced to take out a mortgage of 70,000 marks from the Braunschweig-Hannoversche Bank . In 1915 his entire property was administered. The Jewish community acquired the building in April 1918 in order to set up both offices and apartments. Due to the housing shortage and the associated forced administration after the World War, the plan for the offices could not be implemented. Nevertheless, the community held on to the property, which was not far from the synagogue on Großer Berlin, and two years after purchasing the house also repaid the mortgage from the Braunschweig-Hannoversche Bank. When the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the situation became difficult for the community and so in August 1937 they sold the house to the director's widow Ida Jung for 39,000 marks. This de facto forced sale at least prevented the building from burning down, as happened on 9/10. November 1938 happened to the synagogue. After the Second World War, the Jewish community raised claims as reparation for the building, which was now under trust management by the city. On June 24, 1949, the state government of Saxony-Anhalt awarded the community the property. On June 9, 2005, stumbling blocks were laid on the sidewalk in front of the property . Even today (2011) the seat of the Jewish community can still be found here.

Number 14
Große Märkerstraße 14 is a corner house to Sternstraße. It used to belong to Ulrichsviertel with the number 411a, later was given the number 438 and since 1855 it has had the number 14. The first recorded owner of the building was Elizabeth, Withwe des Jacob Brand , who followed Lorenz Gräfe (or Grefe) in 1554. At the end of the 16th century, Christoff Kunat, probably the son of councilor Barthol Kunat, bought the house for the rather high price of 950 guilders. Due to the high purchase price, it is assumed that the house was a new building. On September 26, 1614, the councilor Jeremias Redel bought the house from the Kunat family. He was followed by his son of the same name and Heinrich Dürfeld as the owner. One year after Dürfeld's death, on September 17, 1683, a fire broke out on Kleiner Berlin and destroyed 24 houses and 10 barns, including today's Große Märkerstraße 15. The property was then fallow until 1696. In 1696 it was rebuilt by the Katzsche family (also Katsche). Around 1699 the Jew Assur Marx acquired the building. After Marx's death in 1730, the house remained the property of his descendants for the time being before it was acquired by chimney sweep Johann Carl Elsässer in 1808. After 1856 the wine merchant Jacob Broich bought the house, who opened a restaurant here, which however had to file for bankruptcy in 1886. The FA Jordan wine wholesaler then bought the house. The tenant Heinrich Tischbein ran the wine bar here from October 2nd, 1887 under the name of Father Rhine . In 1906 Albert Altenberg continued to operate the business as Altenberg's beer and wine bars . The wine tavern also survived the world wars. During the Second World War, the restaurant belonged to three Swiss, Weber-Hoffmann and Hoffmann. In the back room, the "raisin bag" (the guests were the raisins ), artists, artists and actors such as Pola Negri, Dr. Albrecht Schoenhals u. a. In February 1945 the house was assigned to 1./LU Rgt 231 for use for urgent military purposes. In 1946/47 Hellmut Möckel was noted as the owner of the Altenberger Weinstuben .
Number 15
Grosse Märkerstraße 15 used to be part of a total property together with today's numbers 14 and 16. The plots were separated between 1785 and 1827, after which the house was given the address Ulrichsviertel 411b. In 1808 the Elsässer family bought the house. From 1860 onwards, the Mangold family, who were married to the Alsatians, were named as owners. In 1872 the practice of Dr. Oscar Dümke in the house. In 1909 the Verbandsbank commercial cooperatives GmbH acquired the house from the Mangold family and set up their business premises here after a major renovation.
Number 16 to 19
Number 16 is the corner lot on Kutschgasse. It has been number 16 since 1893, before that it was number 17 from 1855. A bakery was built here in 1717, previously a barn was located here. The house was used by bakers until it was demolished in the 20th century.
House number 17 was demolished in the 1980s after being empty for a long time. It is not known who was the builder or client of the house. The first documented owner of the house Ulrichsviertel 409 was the lawyer Georg Müller. In 1773 Andreas Gallas from Maton near Graubünden set up a confectionery in the house.
_11.jpg)
Große Märkerstraße 18 is a residential building that was built in 1890, but there was already a residential building here in the 16th century at the address Ulrichsviertel 408 . The first known owners were Hans and Gregor Müller.
Große Märkerstraße 19 fell into disrepair after World War II and was finally demolished in the 1970s. It is believed that the fortified court of the Merkelin family was once located here. The adjoining street, today Kuhgasse, was called mercelines strate in 1315 . The first documented owner of Ulrichsviertel 407 was Hans Müller, who was named as owner in 1533.
Number 20 - To the rough Gottlieb
Grosse Märkerstraße 20 was a council fiefdom and was built on around 1310. The first secure owner of what was then Ulrichsviertel 405 was Otto Wogau in the 15th century. Caspar Neefe (1588–1661) acquired the house around 1618. After his studies in Leipzig and Jena, Neefe became Pfänner and later a member of the city council. The innkeeper Christian Adam Leonhardt bought the house for 2,250 thalers in 1768. For another 100 thalers he was given permission to run an economy here. In 1784 Johann Christian Woltaer (1744–1815) bought the house. He was Professor of Law and Full Professor at the Law Faculty of the University of Halle. After his death the house became an inn again.
The house was demolished in 1887 and a new one was built the following year. In 1896 Johann Carl Emerich took over the restaurant and named it Zum groben Gottlieb . Advertising and the very peculiar furnishings for the time quickly made the inn famous. The furnishings included clotheslines with items of laundry, old grandfather clocks and weapons. Despite this quick popularity, the success failed and the innkeeper soon had to give up. In the 1930s, Artur Stricker set up his tavern with the special bar at the Tucherbräu brewery . The economy existed until 1953. In March 1953, the HO-Restaurant Tucherbräu opened in its place . This was replaced on August 9, 1961 by the Skat-Klause Herz-Ace . In September 1970, the inn was renamed Tucherbräu again. In 1979 the building was reconstructed and in 1983 the house was set up to supply construction workers . Only two years later, on April 22, 1985, the Tucherbräu was rebuilt, but this did not survive the fall of 1989. Today there is again a "Bauernschänke" with the name Zum groben Gottlieb in the house . From 1991, minor renovations were carried out in the house. Still in private ownership, extensive renovation work took place in 2005 in the house as well as in the backyard and on the rear facade under monument law conditions.
_17.jpg)
Number 21 & 22
The house at Große Märkerstraße 21/22 is one of the oldest houses in Halle and today the largest residential building on the street. The first documented owner of the house is Thomas Ließkau. The house originally had the address Ulrichsviertel 404 (in 1854 Große Märkerstraße 454). In 1637 the Princely Saxon Privy Councilor Curt von Einsiedel acquired the house. In 1680 Michel Milié, known as la Fleur , bought the house for 1,150 Reichstaler in order to found a knight academy here. He had received approval from Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg and so he furnished the house accordingly. However, there were tensions between the French native la Fleur and the Halle residents, so that the Elector Friedrich III. decided to found his own knight academy in Halle. However, the academy of la Fleur continued to exist for the time being until it was officially dissolved on April 22, 1693. On May 17, 1718, la Fleur sold the part of today's number 22 building to Johann Gottfried Burchardt for 2,160 thalers. The number 21 initially remained in the possession of la Fleurs and subsequently his heirs.
In 1742 Christoph Kersten acquired the number 21 for 825 Reichstaler and he, or his wife Dorothea, was succeeded by Johann Friedrich Joachim (1713–1767), professor of law . The theologian and philosopher Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher lived at Märkerstrasse 21 from 1804 to 1807. He taught at the theological faculty until Napoleon closed the university and was a university preacher at the University of Halle. In his house Schleiermacher also met weekly for a company with some students, discussed with them or read aloud. He found this an enrichment for himself, but the participating students were also very impressed by these meetings. When the Prussian troops lost the Battle of Halle in 1806 and the French occupied the city, looting began. French soldiers also broke into Grosse Märkerstrasse 21 and stole the possessions of those present. In the following days the house was used for forced billeting. The University of Halle was dissolved by Napoleon on October 20, 1806, so that Schleiermacher was initially without work or resources. However , he did not accept a call from the University of Bremen in mid-November 1806 because he still had hope that the university would reopen. But he left Halle at the end of 1807 after a replacement for the university had been founded in Berlin and he was one of the appointed professors. Schleiermacher became the founding dean of the theological faculty of the new Berlin University , today's Humboldt University in Berlin .
The now separate Grosse Märkerstraße 22 went from Burchardt to Professor Siegmund Jakob Baumgarten (1706–1757). The most important visitor to 22 was certainly Voltaire , even if he only stopped in Halle for one day, probably March 26, 1753, while he was passing through to Leipzig and was invited to 22. The property remained in the possession of the Baumgarten family until 1803. In that year Friedrich Wilhelm von Colbatzky (also Czolbazacky) acquired the house. Colbatzky had studied mathematics, but had then become a publisher and, among other things, published the Hallischer Kurier from December 2, 1789 . After the French had occupied Halle in 1806, his newspaper was banned and the right to publish it went to Professor Johann Heinrich Tieftrunk. Colbatzky then left Halle and went to Burg near Magdeburg. He or his heirs remained the owner of the house for several decades. From 1851 to 1859 Friedrich Wilhelm Rocco (1819–1897) ran his dance school here.

Number 23
For the Große Märkerstraße 23, which has had this address since 1893, Wolff habenicht is documented as the first owner in 1543. But there may have been buildings on this site as early as the 10th century. The address when Halle was numbered by quarter was Ulrichsviertel 403 . Various owners did not follow, for example in 1622 Volradt Scheffer who in 1622 paid 850 gold guilders for the acquisition. In February 1628 Scheffer sold the house to Andreas Christian Sartorius for 900 guilders. Sartorius was a lawyer and probably operated his law firm here, as was probably his successor Christian Müller. On May 18, 1674, Hans Brückner bought the property for 600 gold guilders. The driver set up his haulage business here. This haulage business, with changing owners, lasted until 1750. In the purchase contract of 1744, the property was described in addition to the purchase price of 1,500 Reichstalers. There were six rooms, five chambers, two cellars, four floors for pouring grain, stables for sixteen horses and a good well. In 1797, Johann Anton Ludwig Flöthe, businessman and Meubleur , bought the house. He set up a furniture store here, which did very well in the years that followed. Flöthe died in 1829 and his company continued to operate until 1859. This year, the furniture salesman Dettenborn, who was already working in Kuhgasse in Halle, acquired the house. A yeast and baking powder factory was set up by Theodor Franz in the house which he bought in 1880. In 1902 the company acquired the house from Otto Franz. At the beginning of the 1950s, the company went into liquidation and on October 6, 1956, the Halle consumer cooperative acquired the building and set up the special shop Die Billighabenquelle . Here, among other things, women's clothing was available at greatly reduced prices.
Number 24
The Große Märkerstraße 24 is now merged with the number 23. The first documented owner was Jacob Stubbendorf, who sold the property to Hans Renner, who in turn sold it to Simon Warlitz. The address at that time was Ulrichsviertel 402 and in 1687 Wallitz sold the property to Salomon Hartmann, who set up an inn. On June 5, 1725, Johann Christian Osterhausen bought the house to work as a belt master. The next owner from 1740 was Christian Wolff. It is unclear whether this is about the professor and educator Christian Wolff . What is certain is that the professor bought the house at Große Märkerstraße 24 in 1741.

Number 25
The property at Große Märkerstraße 25 was created in the middle of the 18th century from the merging of two properties. At that time the property was owned by Jews, which was not actually legally possible at the time. The two properties had the address Ulrichsviertel 400 and 401 . According to the city's land register, the 400 belonged to the Jew in Wogau's house and the 401 to Marx Assur in Packbusch's house . In 1771 Philipp Christian Büchling became the owner of the property, which now has the address Ulrichsviertel 458 . After his death and the following owner Jacob Adam David Coqui, the material and tobacco shop was built in 1814 by Johann Friedrich Stegemann, who had acquired the house in the same year. In the course of time, the business increasingly turned to confectionery. In 1920 Adolf Brauer became the owner of the house and set up the business premises for his Hallesches Erd- und Cremer-Institut , which existed until the end of the 1950s.
Number 26 - To the golden sun
The first documented owner of the Große Märkerstraße 26 is Peter Kotzel, who owned the house around 1500. Parts of the cellar of the house date from the beginning of the 14th century. In a settlement document dated August 17, 1558, Ursula Kotzl, widow of a son of Peter Kotzel, is determined to be the owner of Merkelstrasse zur Sonnen . The owners of the property, also called Zur Güldenen Sonne , changed several times in the following years. At first it was used by craftsmen until it was opened on January 11, 1632 by the doctor Dr. Andreas Grahmann was acquired. In the 17th century the house was given the address Ulrichsviertel 399 . In 1709 David Christoph Büchling († 1732) had the dilapidated house demolished and the four-story house built on the existing basement. Büchling set up a braid knitting factory in the house, but had difficulties adapting the company to the new developments due to a ban on new so-called belt mills with 16 to 30 gears. After Friedrich II lifted the ban, the Büchling factory developed quickly and was able to achieve a certain monopoly in the area. After Büchling's death, the factory was continued by his descendants until it had to close around 1750 due to economic problems. After the factory ended, the rooms in the house were rented to students. On March 26, 1785, the merchant Friedrich Seidemann bought the house and set up a clothing store here, which his wife ran after his death in 1813. In 1846 the master carpenter Friedrich Gygas bought the house and built a furniture store there. In 1892 Georg Schaible became the owner, who built his furniture and upholstery workshop and a furniture store here. At the end of the Second World War, the house was damaged by shells striking nearby and then painstakingly restored. The furniture company existed at least until the end of the 1950s.

Number 27
The Große Märkerstraße 27 originally had the address Ulrichsviertel 398 and later the number 28 in the Große Märkerstraße. The first documented owner can be established for the middle of the 16th century, but there are no further explanations about the name. The first owner, who can be found out more about, is Gideon Scherer, known as a shoemaker, in 1674. In the following years, the house was owned by various residents of Halle, for example in 1834 by the successful entrepreneur Heinrich Franz Lehmann (1764–1846) and subsequently by his son, the banker Ludwig Lehmann (1802–1878).
