The house from Heskem is a half-timbered house from Heskem . It was torn down there and in the Hessenpark translocated .

The house dates from around 1674. The original house had a footprint of 8.50 meters by 6.50 meters. The living area of ​​the two-story, two-zone house consisted of the ground level entrance area and the living room, which was four steps higher. The room had a cellar. The basement was accessed through a hatch in the floor. There may have been a stable and / or barn farm area to the right of this part. This can no longer be determined because this part of the building was demolished and a complete half-timbered building was attached to the older part.

In 1968 the building was the subject of house measurements by Karl Rumpf.

In the early 1970s, the house was to be preserved on site as a rare example of post-and-beam construction . However, it was dilapidated and was therefore dismantled and rebuilt as one of the first buildings in Hessenpark. It is part of the "Assembly H - Central Hesse". Since the building-historical connections were not known, a “single-roof courtyard” with living and utility rooms under one roof, supplemented by a stable barn, was created instead of the residential building.

The saddle roof in the Hessenpark is covered with long rye straw. The windows are sliding windows with small hexagonal lead-framed panes, as they were common during the construction period.

The furnishings on the ground floor correspond to the room functions from the end of the 17th to the beginning of the 18th century: the open kitchen is a so-called dining kitchen, with a two-part entrance door and a living room.

The rebuilding of only the older half of the property was publicly discussed. This decision was (among other things) the subject of a state parliament inquiry in 1988. G. Ulrich Großmann published a polemic in 1991 in which he formulated:

“It was decided to reconstruct artificial poverty and added the two zones as a stable and barn area for the original state, for which there is no evidence at all at the old location. From a full farm house of a multi-sided courtyard became a small farm property. "
