Herrnstrasse 23 (Mainbernheim)
The house at Herrnstraße 23 (incorrectly also Herrenstraße 23 , formerly house number 53) is a listed building in Mainbernheim in Lower Franconia . The house has one of the oldest cellars in the Kitzingen district and became the parent company of the Bären-Schmidt confectionery company in the 19th century .
history
The house on Herrnstraße can be considered the oldest in the city of Mainbernheim and one of the older town houses in the vicinity. Remains of the previous buildings from the 11th and 12th centuries have been preserved in the cellar. The property was probably built as an inn on Hohen Strasse between Frankfurt and Nuremberg , and there may have been a stately outbuilding here , which could explain the age of the cellar rooms.
Originally there was a gable-independent building above the main cellar. The current front building was built around 1500, probably in connection with the town elevation of Mainbernheim. From then on, the house at Herrnstraße 23 and the surrounding buildings formed the geographical center of the small town. The house was changed as early as 1600. The entrance to the courtyard, which still exists today, was built and the house was given an extension.
In the 18th and especially in the 19th century, further changes were made to the building. In 1863 the Schmidt gingerbread factory was built in the building , later the fruit gum manufacturer Bären-Schmidt. After the factories had moved to the outskirts of Mainbernheim, a cinema was set up in the house on Herrnstrasse 23 in the 1920s, although it only existed for a short time. In 1982 the division of the house was changed and the property was divided into two residential units.
description
The house is listed as a historical building by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments. In addition, underground remains of previous buildings were classified as ground monuments . It is also part of the Old Town Mainbernheim ensemble . The house presents itself as a gable roof construction on the eaves side with a half-hip and a half-timbered upper floor . In the 17th century a short rear building was added, and there is also a courtyard entrance next to the main building.
The ground floor of the main building comes from the 19th century, which is made clear by the window layout. The entrance to the house was located in the center and closes with a double door from the first half of the 19th century. A narrow skylight was installed above it . The upper floor is dominated by exposed half-timbering and cantilevered about 25 cm in the direction of Herrnstrasse. The framework is supported by simple collar studs and bars, which suggests a previously existing layer of plaster.
The courtyard entrance was designed in a representative way and dates back to around 1600. A regular sequence of narrow and wide stones was attached, the wide stones being diamond-coated while the narrow ones are covered with rosettes . The cellar of the building is a national specialty. It is located under the northwest part of the front building and extends to under the extension gable. The cellar, which was probably built in the High Middle Ages, is barrel vaulted . A basement neck in the courtyard forms the entrance.
During a renovation in 1982, larger remains of colored plastering came to light inside. The 15th century building had ceilings without false floors , which were decorated with colored frames on the underside of the floorboards . Several layers of paint could be made out on top of each other, the oldest being a red paint layer. Similar traces of paint can be found in Mainbernheim in Berggasse 6, which probably dates from a similar era.
