location

It is located at the eastern end of a row of houses north of the Sankt-Benedikti-Kirche and thus has three sides of the facade facing the street, namely the Kornmarkt, the Marktkirchhof and the Breite Straße.

Architecture and history

The area was built after the use of the churchyard of the Sankt Benedikti Church as a cemetery was abandoned. A directly preceding building burned down in 1765.

The current three-storey half - timbered house was built around 1770 in the Baroque style and is registered in the Quedlinburg monument register as a residential building. The original shutters are still on the south side of the ground floor. It is believed that a wall in the northern part of the house is the remainder of the old churchyard wall. In the 19th century, the east gable of the building had a loading hatch with an elevator tree.

The interior of the shop on the ground floor, now used as a restaurant, is designed in the neo-Gothic style and dates from around 1820, according to other information around 1840. During these renovations, the house was also plastered. In 1965, the plaster, which had meanwhile been damaged, was removed and severe structural damage to the half-timbered structure was found.

In the late 1970s, the town planning director suggested that the entire row of houses be torn down in order to gain space for Christmas markets and other events. In 1987, however, construction work began to preserve the house. The work was carried out by the State Workshops for the Preservation of Monuments in Poland (Pracownie Konserwacji Zabytków, PKZ), Thorn branch and lasted until 1988. The half-timbered construction could be retained and was reinforced inside with a steel frame. The facades, the neo-Gothic shop and elements such as doors, stairs and the windows in Art Nouveau style have also been preserved. The mezzanine was raised by 40 centimeters in order to obtain usable ceiling heights.

During the work, paintwork on the wooden ceiling from the time of construction was found under the wallpaper of the shop. The painting was exposed and restored. In addition, several tombstones were found. The remains of a Baroque children's tombstone found in 1988 are visibly walled up in the building's hallway.
