description

The Holtz house at Hauptstrasse 6 was built in 1905/06 when the sandstone quarries in Mühlbach were first flourishing. A large part of the male residents of the place found work there, and especially at the turn of the century numerous representative stone houses were built in Mühlbach, which protrude far beyond the otherwise usual village development. The largest of these buildings is the town hall , built in 1903 , which is diagonally opposite on the other side of the main street.

Haus Holtz is a two-storey, massive sandstone building with a basement and covered by a hipped roof . From the left side of the building, the staircase front with the portal on the ground floor and a balcony on the first floor protrudes like a risalit . The front of the building facing the street closes on the left with a corner bay window , on the right at the southeast corner with a dwelling . An outbuilding is attached to the rear.

The narrow sides of the building are built with embossed masonry, the broad side facing the street with smoother but differently crafted masonry. The base is made of reddish bruised Mühlbacher sandstone, the masonry made of yellow sandstone above is roughly or finely pointed , embossed, bruised or scratched . The windows on the ground floor facing the street are divided into three parts and have a segmental lintel . The windows on the upper floor are largely rectangular, with a staggered group of three towards the street, the staggering of which is taken up by the vertical division of the windows on the ground floor. All window frames have scratches. The parapet fields of the ground floor windows are decorated with decorative rosettes, the parapets of the bay windows are designed as raised rectangular panels. The dwarf house has a curved gable, which is closed off by a spherical fan rosette.
