Architecture and history

The three-storey house was built around 1485 in half-timbered construction and served as a baker's guild house. The gable side protruded, the half-timbered facade had a so-called column arrangement , and there were foot struts and parapets. There were several figurative studs on the south facade of the house . Five upstairs, two downstairs. The beam heads were made as pear rods.

The first threshold was decorated with a stair frieze. There were three-pass or four-pass circles above the beam heads . A trapezoidal frieze was worked into the second threshold . The house at Schmale Strasse 47 , which is also in the 15th century and still preserved today, has a similar design .

There was a mortise lock on the south side of the house , a stand has been proven. To the southwest towards Marktstrasse there was a three-axis bay window that was added at a later date. To the north of the house was a three-storey building seven bundles wide and built around 1680.

The house was demolished in 1899, according to other sources, in 1900 when the town hall was being expanded. The figurative studs were secured and ended up in the Quedlinburg Castle Museum . Today they are in the half-timbered museum .
