Architecture and history

The three-storey half - timbered house was built according to a building inscription by HANS REULE ZIMMERMAN in 1671 by the Quedlinburg carpenter Hans Reule as a residential house with a warehouse. The appearance of the house is characterized by the storey thresholds sloping to the north and the accompanying picturesque asymmetry. The roof structure overhangs 70 centimeters to the east. The upper floors protrude, on the roof there is a dwelling with a loading hatch . The half-timbered facade is decorated with pyramid beam heads , profiled filler wood and flat ship throat.

On the first floor there is a very small box bay on the left side of the facade . The courtyard passage with the courtyard gate is also remarkable.

At the end of the 18th century the hostel "Zur Goldenen Sonne" was established in the building and operated until the end of the 1960s. The owner then did not continue the previous use. The Quedlinburg Institute for Breeding Research then renovated the house between 1971 and 1975 and used it as a single dormitory for its employees. A massive staircase was added to the west gable of the building. Steel anchors provided further stabilization. The neighboring house to the east was largely demolished in 1975 and rebuilt in massive form while retaining the original facade. After 1990 it was restored again and in 1992 it was reopened as a hotel and inn. In 1998 a hotel extension with a restaurant and atrium was added. The hotel has 27 single and double rooms. The hotel lobby was set up in the old courtyard passage.
