history

The princely court architect Heinrich Horst built the building around 1735 and used it as a residence from then on. Later owners were the lawyer and secret government councilor and founder of the Sethestift , Christian Sethe and, since 1902, the Sparkasse of the former Aurich office . In 1913 it was bought by the lawyer and notary Wilhelm Knodt, from whom it takes its name. The building was later owned by the Aurich district, which used it as an adult education center, among other things. In 1997 an entrepreneur from Aurich bought the house and had it partially renovated. Then he leased it to various restaurateurs. Raiffeisen-Volksbank Aurich acquired the property in spring 2013 . The bank plans to move into the upper floor itself in the future. The ground floor, the cellar and the outdoor area with beer garden will continue to be used as a bistro, café and restaurant.
