Luitpoldstrasse 16 (Prichsenstadt)

The house at Luitpoldstrasse 16

The house at Luitpoldstrasse 16 (formerly house number 115) is a listed building in the core town of Prichsenstadt in Lower Franconia . The house was probably built by the same carpenter who also worked on Karlsplatz 2 and is considered the last gable-free building in the old town.

history

The house in today's Luitpoldstrasse was already used as a tanner's property in the 16th century . The owner Melber was first mentioned by name in 1599. He ran a leather goods shop in the house and was also an innkeeper . Similar to the house at Schulinstrasse 7 , the property lacked the option of tanning hides, so it can be assumed that only the sales rooms were housed there.

The current property was built in the second half of the 17th century. The previous building was probably destroyed or badly damaged in the Thirty Years' War . The building owner was the red tanner Caspar Steinacher, who immortalized himself with the following inscription on the keystone of the gate: “ANNO 1671 VORWAHR / ICH ICH CASPAR / STEINACHER DISES HOUSE / WHOLE AND GAHR / FROM THE GROUND OUT / IN ONE YEAR.” Major changes were made to the structure made during a renovation in 1948.

description

The house at Luitpoldstrasse 16 is classified as a historical building by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments . Underground remains of previous buildings are registered as soil monuments . The house is also part of the Prichsenstadt old town ensemble . It consists of a two-storey house and a barn in the north of the property. The gable-independent main building has a solid ground floor with a courtyard entrance, a half-timbered upper floor and ends with a crooked roof .

The round-arched courtyard gate on the ground floor is surrounded by a profiled border with battlements . The Ansbach coat of arms and an inscription in the keystone refer to the city lord, the time of construction and the builder. The front door from an 18th century renovation was removed in 1948. Today's entrance is in the courtyard driveway. Above the door are the tanner's mark with the scraper, the monogram "KS" and the inscription "GOT BEHUTTE DISES HOUSE / AND ALL THOSE GO IN AND OUT".

The half-timbered superstructure has no struts, in the attic you can discover head triangles. There is a stitch beam system between the upper floor and the gable. The interior layout of the house is easy to read from the exterior. The room is lit by a group of four windows. The windows are accentuated by grooved fire rams in the parapet, crutch crosses and star crosses in the gable triangle.

The interiors with a self- supporting spiral staircase date largely from the time of construction. The room layout was changed in the 1940s. The three-storey roof can be reached with a block staircase. The house has a beam cellar in the basement, the barn a barrel vaulted cellar. There is an arcade in the inner courtyard .
