location

It is located north of the city's market square and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The Kornmarkt 1, 2 building was originally to the west of the house . It is registered as a merchant's house in the Quedlinburg monument register.

Architecture and history

The building was built as a large three-storey house around 1600. It was covered by a very high hipped roof . There was a driveway in the eastern part of the house. There were blind arcades inside the building and Renaissance walls on the high basement. The room layout and the roof structure are likely to have declined from around 1600.

The building was renovated around 1730. In this context, a staircase designed in the late Baroque style was created. It had carved parapets and balusters . Particularly noteworthy is the preserved radiant door leaf of the front door. Inside the building there were baroque doors and windows as well as floors. District Administrator Carl Weyhe lived in the building at least between 1852 and 1878 .

Due to its imposing structure and its location at the northern entrance to the Kornmarkt, the building was of particular urban significance. This was especially true after the neighboring development of Kornmarkt 1/2 had already been lost in 1900.

At the turn of the year 2004/2005 there was a fire that largely destroyed the building. Only the outer walls of the massive ground floor remained.
