Market 6 (Coburg)
The house at Markt 6 in the center of the Upper Franconian town of Coburg is a corner building on the western side of the market square facing Judengasse. The three-storey building was first mentioned in 1393 and is listed as an architectural monument in the Bavarian list of monuments.
history
The first mention of the house with Hans Eysen as a fiefdom taker was in 1393. From 1486 to 1536 the inn "Zum gülden Stern" was located in the building. In 1596, the princely rent master Nicolaus Zech took over the property as a council fief and initiated a redesign, which also included the addition of a Coburg bay window .
In 1691 the building was described as a three-story corner house, half old, half new with two vaults , a cellar and a stable. Between 1778 and 1806 a branch of the Taxis' Reichspost was housed in the house . It was also the secondary residence of the ducal family, in which on June 4, 1799 the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. and his wife Queen Luise stayed the night.
In 1870 the Coburg-Gothaische Credit-Gesellschaft, founded in 1856, took over the property. They initiated extensive renovations in the neo-Gothic style according to plans by the city architect Julius Martinet . The ground floor facade in particular received a new design, including larger windows, and the roof was expanded. A hipped mansard roof was created from a hipped roof with a newly designed dwelling and a raised corner bay window . In 1923 a safe was installed in the basement. After the Coburg-Gothaische Credit-Gesellschaft was absorbed by the Coburger Bank in 1934 , the businessman Alwin Faber bought the building. He had a leather goods shop set up on the ground floor and apartments on the first floor. In the course of a renovation in 1956, the facade was simplified with the removal of ornaments . The bay window received a new roof. The sales area on the ground floor was expanded in 1995 and 1991. For this purpose, load-bearing interior walls were demolished and larger bracing with steel girders and supports were installed.
architecture
The L-shaped, three-story building has twelve window axes in Judengasse and four window axes to the market. Two rear side wings enclose a narrow inner courtyard. A rear building facing Nägleinsgasse has a flat gable roof , two half-timbered upper floors and five window axes. At the corner of the house facing the market, there is a two-story Coburg bay window on a pillar that expands in five layers. A Welsche hood on a low attic storey, underneath the eaves of the mansard hipped roof running around the bay window , form the upper bay window. The facade is structured by arched shop windows on the ground floor, framed windows on the first floor and windows with roofs and lintels on the second floor. On the market, above the eaves, which has a tooth cut, is a three-axis dwarf in the middle designed as an ornamental dormer with pilasters and a baluster cornice and segmented arched gable . The upper end of the dormer window is formed by pyramids on both sides and a woman's mask with a crown in the middle.
