The electoral tailoring is a Renaissance house in Aschaffenburg Webergasse 3.

history

In the Aschaffenburg literature as "former Vizedomamt ", as "formerly Mainzische Oberkellerei", the building was erected under Elector Archbishop Wolfgang von Dalberg and already in 1606 was called Electoral Tailoring .

It is a two-storey Renaissance building with massive enclosures, volute gable facing Webergasse and the Main. The coat of arms of Elector Wolfgang von Dalberg (1582 to 1601) above the stone-framed entrance portal. On the ground floor, a hall, on three central columns, resting on column chairs with rich Renaissance ornamental decorations and spanned with burr cross vaults.

The side wing was added around the middle of the 17th century. The building was owned by the state government of the Electorate of Mainz until 1804, then the property of the Principality of Aschaffenburg and the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt until it went to the Crown of Bavaria in 1814.

In 1817 it was not until the post office and in 1854 it became a forest office building, with a state forest service. From 1970 the house at Webergasse 3 housed the tax office - land acquisition tax office - before it was sold by the Free State of Bavaria to the city of Aschaffenburg in 2001 .

The use by the city of Aschaffenburg as the seat of the Christian Schad Foundation was not pursued any further, as another object, better suited for the presentation of Christian Schad's works of art, is now owned by the city.

The electoral tailoring in Webergasse is to represent the city of Aschaffenburg as the center of paper finishing and the clothing industry as part of a foundation.

The entrepreneur Dr. Stephan Dessauer from the industrial family Dessauer purchased the property and is planning in cooperation with the city of Aschaffenburg an academy in honor of the poet Clemens Brentano to build.

The literature names can perhaps be justified by the fact that the house was the residence of the cellar in Bachgau from 1730 to 1766. From 1788 to 1814 it was occupied by the Vice Cathedral Director, and since 1812 Prefect Franz Joseph Will.
