Architecture and history

The four-storey building was built in 1748 during the Baroque period in massive construction. The hotel itself, however, is older and was first mentioned in 1618. The structure of the facade is kept strict. The house is covered by a mansard roof . The gate passage located in the northern part of the house had wall paneling in the classical style, described as unique , which was worked on the ceiling in the form of a vault. During renovation work in 1997, however, the wall paneling was removed. The market café is now housed in the former gateway . The wrought-iron house sign above the passage is remarkable. The panel shows a bear in a band frame and dates from 1798. The original historical buildings on the courtyard have also not been preserved. The secret annexe dates from the second half of the 16th century. It was provided with figurative carvings on the wooden legs . The wing stretching along Pölle Street was torn down in 1920. Parts of the carvings have been recovered and are in the museum. A bay window with a plank room built into it is said to have been on the upper floor of Markt 9 .

To the south of the baroque building, a three-story extension was built for the hotel around 1840. This house was built in half-timbered construction, but the facade is plastered.

In 1834 the future poet Julius Wolff was born in the building. A memorial plaque attached to the southern extension building reminds of this. Well-known guests of the hotel were Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , Heinrich Heine and Theodor Fontane , who each moved into the Hotel Zum Bären in connection with their Harz tours.
