Hauptstrasse 2 (Volkach)
The house at Hauptstraße 2 (formerly house number 376) is a listed building in the core town of Volkach in Lower Franconia .
history
The house in its present form dates back to around 1600. At that time, the Würzburg prince-bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn had the Volkach city wall and the stately buildings renewed. His subjects in the city, who had made some fortune through viticulture, were also open to the latest building trends and designed their houses after the model of the rulers. However, the names of the owners of the house at that time have not been passed down.
The Büttner Hans Pörtlein was mentioned for the first time in 1689 at house number 376. As a Büttner, he ran an important company in the wine town because he manufactured barrels for storing the drink. Pörtlein is still in the house in 1698. Before 1713, Hans Michael Malts acquired the property next to the Upper Gate . Like many Volkachers, he also ran viticulture in addition to his actual job and owned a farmstead in the upper suburbs , several properties and a cow.
In the period that followed, the use of the house changed frequently. A bakery was set up with Hans Jörg Braun in 1730, Martin Rauch lived here in 1736, while Johann Schmitt's widow lived in the facility as early as 1752 . In 1755 she rented the rear building to Johann Sebastian Wenglein, who worked as a churchman in the Bartholomäuskirche . In 1758 a certain Mr. Keyl lived as a sublet in Sebastian Wenglein's apartment. It was only with Johann Behr that a bakery was built on the premises.
After further changes of ownership, Christoph Stocker lived in the house in 1803. He went to the " Borthenwirer -Profesion". Anton Müller was already living in the house on what was then Marktstrasse in 1811. In 1839 his house was described in more detail. It had a cellar, an attached stable and a wine press to make its own wine. In the middle of the 19th century, Carl Sebastian Leipold, a family who was to live here for a longer period, took over the property. Leipold had the facade unified.
With his son Sebastian Leipold and his wife Maria, a butcher's shop was set up on the premises. The butcher's shop was taken over by Andreas Braun in 1920. Artur Braun was still running the butcher's shop in 1951 and bequeathed the house to his son Roman and his wife Katharina in 1984. In 1999 the Breitenbach family acquired the property and had it converted into a hotel and café . The hotel has been owned by the Pfaff-Düker family since 2010.
