The Landstandsehaus is a building from 1700 in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund in Badenstrasse 39 there.

history

Before the construction of today's state house, there were three gabled houses on the property , which were destroyed during the siege of the city by the “Great Elector” Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg in 1678. Two were owned by the heirs of Heinrich von Stein and one belonged to Arnold Friedlieb.

The contract between the city of Stralsund and the building owner, District Administrator von Rotermund, is still in the Stralsund city archive . The contract is extremely extensive, which is probably due to the fact that the city had often been in legal disputes with the von Rotermund family . Von Rotermund had to undertake to become a citizen of the city and to build "a good house with a house door and entrances in good firewalls on the desert spot according to local city custom", which was designed for bourgeois brewing and maltz food and trading. The client had to pay 40 Reichstaler “Pommersch Courant after the Leipzig foot of 1690” as tax annually, but was tax-exempt for eight years.

The house was built in the Baroque style on two of the three acquired properties, the third property serves as an exit and gateway.

The Swedes, to whose kingdom Stralsund belonged at that time, recorded the house in the register of 1706. Thereafter, a courtyard building belonged to the property as well as a stable for twelve horses, a carriage house for three carriages, a brewery and a wash house.

The building changed hands decades later. The government councilor von Bohlen bought the house, from whom the Countess von Meyerfeldt bought it in 1759. In 1803 the building was handed over to the state estates by the Swedish king as the seat , and until 1881 the municipal councils of the West Pomerania - Rügen estates were held here. The treasury and the archives of the estates were also in the house. It was acquired by the Stralsund City Council in 1881 . The house served various purposes: apartments, offices, administrations and artistic studios.

After the Second World War (the building was also damaged in the bombing raid on Stralsund on October 6, 1944 ), there was a mother's advice center in the house.

Due to the desolate state of construction, the building was vacated in the mid-1980s, whereby the renovation measures that had been initiated soon stalled. Security measures have been carried out since the 1990s and the house received a new roof in 2001. The coat of arms of the state estates was restored by the Stralsund restorer Thormeier with donations and funds from the citizens' committee in 2008. The renovation in the years 2010–2012 was financed by EU funds (almost five million euros) and from the investment program of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The renovated house moved into the Stralsund music school in summer 2012. The listed building is located in the core area of ​​the UNESCO World Heritage Historic Old Towns Stralsund and Wismar .
