Architecture and history

The half-timbered house was built in 1674 by the master carpenter Peter Dünnehaupt . The inscription M. PETER DUENHOUPT with a coat of arms refers to him . The facade is decorated with St. Andrew's crosses , carved rosettes and pyramid beam heads. In addition, there are profiled ship throats , filler wood and foot and head struts. The compartments are filled with decorative lining. The diaconate of the St. Nikolai congregation was located in the house . The first German doctor Dorothea Erxleben was married to Johann Christian Erxleben, who worked here, and set up her practice in the building. She worked here until her death in 1762.

In 1908 an extensive expansion took place, as the need for space in the Nikolaigemeinde had increased. In the process, an extension was built in the historicist style, with its gable facing the street and including the old building. The building permit was granted in 1907 by the town planning officer Emil Paul Lammer with the stipulation that the new building should be completely based on the given motifs of the old component .

The property fencing in a neo-baroque design also dates from 1908 .
