Jakobhaus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jakobhaus is a monument in the old town of Sulzbach-Rosenberg (Luitpoldplatz 22). The roughly eight hundred year old, essentially Gothic building today shows a facade that was designed in 1898 as a mixture of classicism and art nouveau. It is the birthplace of the Bible translator and theologian Joseph Franz von Allioli .

description

Like its neighboring building, the Jakobshaus is attributed to the 14th century. In the late Gothic period, the first renovation was carried out with an extension to the west. During the Renaissance, an annex was built on the north side, the roof structure of which has been preserved to this day. In the late Renaissance, a spiral staircase made of sandstone was installed, which was reconstructed in the course of an extensive renovation at the end of the 1980s. At least eleven construction phases over the centuries could be identified in the preparatory findings. Another highlight, which was only rediscovered with the renovation, is a half-timbered wall with Renaissance painting on the first floor, which was probably built around 1600. The building was given its current external appearance with a renovation at the end of the 19th century. The facade bears the year 1898.

history

The history of the house was compiled by Karl Grünthaler in connection with its renovation. The oldest owner, still known today, was Jörg Reuter, 1521 mayor of Sulzbach († November 11, 1529). In 1543 a Utz Plank is recorded as the owner. After that the house belonged to the councilor family of Kronach . After numerous other owners, Bernhard Allioli, a merchant from Knobio in Lombardy and who, with the most gracious consensus, became a citizen , acquired the building in 1709 . His son Joseph Franz von Allioli was born in this house. The house got its name from the Jakob family, who bought the house in 1908 and owned it until 1984. The current owner is the publishing house Der neue Tag from Weiden. The building now houses the editorial rooms of the Sulzbach-Rosenberger-Zeitung, among other things . There is an Italian ice cream parlor on the ground floor.
