Architecture and history

The predecessor of the building that exists today was a half-timbered house whose previous owners included the mayor Eckhard Salfeld and later the treasurer Wurlitz. Around 1800 Johann Jacob Hermes acquired the building including brewing rights and ran a cloth trade here. From 1807 Ludwig Adolph Kramer worked as an assistant in the business. He then took over both the house and the business on October 1, 1816 and later enlarged the shop windows of the building. Of Kramer's seven children, his eldest son Albert Ernst Kramer took over the business in 1853 and lived here with his family. He had the business premises on the first floor converted. However, he died of typhoid at the age of 49 . Since the children were still too young to take over the business, his widow, Franziska Kramer, née Brasse, hired the businessman Georg Friedrich Witte as managing director on May 22, 1872, who managed the company until July 1, 1888. Then Kramer's son, Wilhelm Albert Kramer, born in 1861, took over the business. He was struggling with the difficulty of being born with color blindness . In 1890 he married Martha Ihlefeldt, whose family also ran a cloth shop at Bockstrasse 5 . Since one of Kramer's sisters also married into the Ihlefeldt family, Robert Ihlefeldt and Wilhelm Kramer merged the two companies at Markt 3, with a new building planned there. The house at Markt 3 had elongated buildings on the courtyard side and a garden with a walnut tree . In March 1894 the demolition of the old building began, with parts of the side wall of the Grünhagenhaus collapsing.

The current building was built in 1894/95 in the neo-renaissance style by the Brunswick architect Friedrich Staeding for the fashion house Ihlfeld & Kramer . In the Quedlinburg monument register it is registered as a residential and commercial building. The facade is characterized by the alternation of stone and clinker . On July 9, 1894, a document describing the history and current situation of the business was walled in under the threshold of the new building. In addition to fabrics, the shop also sold ready-made clothing and linen of all kinds, as well as duvets. Cleaning was offered for feathers. In addition, custom-made items were made for both men and women. The work was carried out in the preserved old rear buildings. At first, tailors traditionally sat on tables, later tailors worked on sewing machines . As early as 1887, Ihlefeldt and Kramer jointly founded the Quedlinburg furniture and equipment hall in Marktstrasse 1 , which was expanded to include the neighboring building, Markt 16 , from 1894 .

The courtyard building shows elements of the local half-timbered building as well as Art Nouveau and Historicism . In addition, there is a three-storey half-timbered wing from the 19th century.

During the GDR era , the building was home to the first Quedlinburg HO department store, which also included the neighboring Markt 4 building.
