The building is in the immediate vicinity of the lowest gate and is of great urban development importance for the market square.

Above it is a half-timbered floor with ornate parapet fields and a gable decorated with St. Andrew's crosses and diamonds . The house was probably built after 1723 under the princely archivist Dörr.
