history
Before 1897
The birthplace of the historian and theologian Ignaz Gropp, who was born in 1695, was at the location of today's property, Marktplatz 18 .
Following the suggestion of an article in the Neue Würzburger Zeitung (issue no. 320, November 19, 1886), the magistrate decided on January 31, 1887 to have a plaque put up in honor of Gropp. With a letter dated November 23, 1886 to “ Freiherr von Lochner Heusslein , k. b. Captain a. D. and k. b. Treasurer here ”, the magistrate successfully inquired about the location of Gropp's former birthplace. At the request of the magistrate, the royal secondary school teacher Michael Stöger confirmed the information provided.
The consent of the owner Anna Ziegler was obtained for the memorial plaque; The Bad Kissingen sculptor Valentin Weidner was commissioned as the performing artist . The memorial plaque was put up on May 25, 1887, reported by the local Saale newspaper .
Today's property
In 1897 a new building was carried out by the Würzburg architect Karl Weinschenk . It gained its present building, in Flemish baroque style building with Wilhelminian facade and slabs in barockisierender domestic integration . The opulence of the decor, which is atypical for Bad Kissingen, can be found next to the Marktplatz 18 property in the Am Kurgarten 2 and Kurhausstraße 27 properties , which were also built by Karl Weinschenk.
The apparently new owner of the property, Kunigunde Grasberger, requested the creation of a new plaque made of black marble and with gold letters and the production of a Gropp bust for the exterior facade of the house. The Gropp portrait in the town hall was to serve as a template for the bust.
Kunigunde Grasberger adhered to the requirements of the magistrate to put Weidner's memorial plaque inside the house, but not with regard to the design of the text. Weidner was again commissioned to make the bust. The bust and the new memorial plaque are now on the outside facade of the house; the memorial plaque with the cross next to Gropp's name falsely gives the impression that Gropp died here.
As early as the 1890s, the Rheinische Weinhalle was opened as an inn on the property. The restaurant was later renamed Fürstendiele and was then called Frankenstube until it was closed in 1996. When Bad Kissingen became a garrison town in 1937 , the Frankenstube was increasingly frequented by soldiers. After the war, Fritz Wendel, who also owned the Bockleter Stuben at Grabengasse 7, performed a ladies' chapel in the Frankenstube; In the 1960s the couple Hannes and Elvira Gerlach set up a fast food restaurant based on the American model. After the Frankenstube was closed in 1996, a shoe shop was opened on the property.
