The house sign of the brewery Zum Roten or Braunen Adler is a listed house sign in Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt .

location

It is located in Magdeburg's old town on the facade of the Breiter Weg 27-30 block on the east side of the street.

Design and history of the house logo

The house sign is described as a baroque sandstone plaque on which a Brandenburg double-headed eagle is depicted. It originally served as the house sign of the brewery to the red or brown eagle, which was already in the 17th century in the area where the house sign is attached today. Even after the end of the brewery and the rebuilding of the property, the house logo was retained and was on the building until 1944/45. After the building was destroyed during the Second World War , the house sign was recovered by a work group led by Werner Priegnitz . However, due to the poor condition of the original stone, restoration was not possible. A copy was therefore made in concrete by the Paul Schuster company and attached in the 1960s to the block of flats built there using the prefabricated construction method.

In the local register of monuments , the house sign is recorded as a monument under registration number 094 71046 .

History of the brewery to the red or brown eagle

The brewery was in a corner location on the Scharrnstraße, which joins the Breite Weg from the east, but is no longer there today. In 1623 the brewery belonged to the brewer Hans Wenckebach . In 1631, the year Magdeburg was destroyed during the Thirty Years War , Kaspar Wenckebach was the owner. In 1649, Hans Wenkebach's heirs sold the property for 300 thalers to Stephan Lentke , who sold it in 1661 for 650 thalers to his son-in-law Klemens Peters . Samuel Witte had acquired the property by 1679 and was building it again. The brewer Johann Witte followed as owner, then his widow between 1692 and 1702 . It is said that at that time the building had its own bathing room in an extension, an unusual comfort at the time. Christian Witte then sold the building to businessman Johann Schröder in 1720 for 4,200 thalers . Four other owners followed in a relatively short time until it finally went to the merchant Nikolaus Fritze for 3,550 thalers . The Fritze family remained the owners of the property until at least 1945. This made the building the longest that a single family had owned on the Breiten Weg in Magdeburg. Fritze (1803), Johann Friedrich Fritze (1814, 1817), Friedrich Fritze (1845), the Particulier Fritze (1870), Kommerzienrat Werner Fritze (1914, 1925 ) were the owners of the house, which was then given the house number Breiter Weg 71 ) and the Fritze'schen heirs (1938, 1940). Werner Fritze, made an honorary citizen of Magdeburg in 1906, lived in the house and also had the business premises of his Fritze & Sohn company here .

As early as 1814, Johann Friedrich Fritze had acquired the neighboring property on Scharrnstrasse to the east and combined both properties. The neighboring property was probably since around 1200 owned by the Guild of the Butchers' Guild and was then still outside the town of Magdeburg, just north of the former city wall. The bone carvers built their guild house here. In the area of ​​Scharrnstraße, the bonesmen operated their stalls called Scharrn, from which the name of the street arose. An even older scrap of town was in the area of ​​the Bone Tusk, east of the town wall. Due to a lack of space, however, the guild had split up and also settled the Scharrnstrasse area. In front of the guild house there was a covered corridor which led behind the houses at Breiter Weg 72 to 76 north to Margarethenstraße. In 1631 the guild house was also destroyed during the destruction of Magdeburg in the Thirty Years' War. The time of the reconstruction is unknown, but the Scharrn has been in use again since 1642. In the first half of the 18th century a second house was built on the property. The building belonged to the guild until it was dissolved in 1808 and was then assigned to the city council as compensation until it was acquired by Johann Friedrich Fritze in 1814.

Presumably at the end of the 19th century, the combined property was rebuilt, including the property at Breiter Weg 72 , the former house at the stone gazebo, located to the north on Breiten Weg .

The building was destroyed during the Second World War. During the time of the GDR , the city was rebuilt, not adhering to the established urban structure. The area of ​​the former brewery for the red or brown eagle was built over with the residential house in prefabricated construction, whereby the Scharrnstraße and the historical corner situation disappeared. After being renumbered, today's house now bears the numbers 27 to 30.
