history
The house at Jägerstraße 37 is one of the first examples of the classicistic architectural style in Arnsberg and was probably built in 1804. The style choice was made before the mandatory introduction of this design for the houses of the city expansion at the beginning of Prussian rule from 1816. It is a stately plastered eaves house. Particularly noteworthy is the gabled dwarf house and the representatively designed entrance area with fluted pilasters . The building was largely preserved in its authentic state. In 1977 it was repainted. The building was included in the list of monuments of the city of Arnsberg under the monument inventory number 188.
Behind the residential building on Mühlenstraße there is a commercially used building. It is a two-storey timber frame house with strong corner posts. The exact year of construction is not known. Documents suggest that the building was built between 1840 and 1850 for the tanner Wilhelm Küper. According to the latest findings of the city archivist Michael Gosmann, the building is much older and dates from 1814. Küper later converted the Schennensche bone mill opposite the tannery on Mühlenbach into a tan mill . The tannery and mill were inherited from the Schennen family. This continued to operate until 1940. Even in its current state, the gallery on the outside facing Mühlenstrasse is a reminder of the house's past. The processed hides used to be hung to dry on the parapet. In 1979 and 1983, the first monument conservation measures were carried out. The building bears the inventory number 310.
Recently, the tannery building was rebuilt in coordination with the monument office to serve as a brewery and restaurant. A cistern was discovered that had supplied the water to the tannery. A live trap for wild animals was also found. The fact that wild boars in particular were caught with it is proven by the teeth of boars that were also found.
Both buildings together were added to the list of monuments of the city of Arnsberg in 1983 under number 60 .
