House at the Rindermarkt (Rottweil)
The house on Rindermarkt is in a prestigious location on Friedrichsplatz in Rottweil . The house, built in the first half of the 14th century, was acquired in 1495 by Johann Werner the Elder von Zimmer (1454–1495) for his wife Margareta von Öttingen († 1528) before his death. She lived there for several years as a widow with sons and daughters. The building is in close proximity to the Predigerkirche at Friedrichsplatz 9.
History of the building
When it was bought, the house at Rindermarkt probably consisted of two buildings, which were built in two phases in 1321 and 1346/1347 and were completely rebuilt in the following period. After the death of the mother Margareta von Öttingen († 1528) the house passed into the possession of the eldest son Johann Werner von Zimmer , who lived there during the Peasants' War and later transferred the management of his property to the house on Rindermarkt. He lived there - cared for by Rottweiler surgeons - as a sick man until he died in 1548. The inheritance went to Froben Christoph von Zimmer and subsequently to his son Wilhelm . When the count family died out with the death of Wilhelm von Zimmer, the city of Rottweil acquired the building from his estate in 1595.
The city used it as a grammar school from 1655 to 1722, and from 1790 until the end of the imperial city period as a mansion. At the beginning of the Württemberg period, the mayor, city commandant and officers lived in the house. In 1819 the house was acquired by the Protestant parish, which used it as a Protestant elementary school and official residence of the city pastor.
After 1907, the house was department store, in 1919 it became the property of the Jewish businessman Max Blochert over and was under the name Max Blochert, formerly Steinberg & Co out. In January 1939 Max Blochert (* 1879 Grimmen † 1944 Tel Aviv) sold the office building to Gustav Witzemann and his wife under the direct pressure of the November pogrom and the ensuing imprisonment in the Dachau concentration camp . Long after the war, the department store was still called Kaufhaus Witzemann . The widow Celine Blochert waived in a settlement in 1950 before the Rottweil Regional Court to annul the contracts that had been concluded between 1936 and 1939. She received a payment of 25,000 DM for this. The house remained in the possession of the Witzemann family.
