Half-timbered frame construction

The Kantorhaus is the oldest preserved half-timbered house in Bernau near Berlin , Barnim . The listed building was built in 1583 in Tuchmachergasse, today's Tuchmacherstraße, by the Bernau citizens Pieper, Henzen and Kogge. A chiseled inscription that follows the entire length of the house points to the builder: “In 1582 these stalls in the churches were freely requested by R. Johann Pipern and in 1583 by ime and Matthias Henzen and Lorentz Koggen as Caste lords Got built in honor. Amen."

Back of the cantor house

In the old Bernauer camp book from 1719 , the cantor's house is referred to as "three censite booths". The Bernau city chronicler August Wernicke also speaks of the "Censitenbuden" and records three house numbers (168 to 170) in his city chronicle from 1894. The property consists of “2 courtyards, 2 gardens extending to the city wall paths, the house and 3 stables = pp. Buildings. "The residential building itself is" approx. 16.35 long, and approx. 9.05 m deep, 2 floors high, of half-timbered with a tiled roof ”.

The in frame construction built building was probably only after 1730 the respective cantor of the parish as a home, from the end of the 18th century, the organist .

Between 1981 and 1983 the building was extensively restored and then used as a music school until 2010 . At the beginning of 2012, the city of Bernau received the cantor's house for a symbolic amount of EUR 1.00 from the district of Barnim. After an expensive repair, a wedding room and rooms for exhibitions on the city's history and development are to be created in the building.
