description
The house at Kettengasse 9 / at the corner of the Zunftgasse was an arable bourgeois house like many other houses in this street in the old town of Eppingen . The high basement is made of limestone, this masonry goes up on the western eaves side up to the ceiling of the first floor. The arched cellar entrance on Kettengasse has the year 1488 inscribed in its walls. The house consists of two cantilevered half-timbered floors and a three-story gable . The house is only 9.10 m wide and has an eaves length of 8.30 m, it is eccentrically divided twice lengthways and twice across. The gable facing the street was reconstructed during the renovation. Only the bracing by steep St. Andrew's crosses was added. The narrow gaps between the beams are rarely found in the half-timbered houses in Eppingen.
The building has a small stone head on the lintel of the former stable door between two inscription fields. The large protruding eyes, the bald head and the pronounced cheekbones mark the head as an envious head , as it also appears on other Eppingen buildings. The owner's name is stamped on the left of the head: Johann Philipp Dieffenbacher , on the right of the head is the year 1746, decorated with an ornament.
The corner of Kettengasse and Zunftgasse is known as a three-style corner because three historical half-timbered styles meet there.
