Marktplatz 22 (Iphofen)
The house Marktplatz 22 (formerly house number 16) is a listed building in the core town of Iphofen in Lower Franconia . The property used to house the Gasthof Zur Goldenen Sonne .
history
Very little is known about the history of the house. It is certain that the Gasthaus Zur Sonne, or the Golden Sun, was to be found here during the early modern period . The "Schenkstatt" was probably looted and destroyed during the Thirty Years' War . The remains of the building subsequently fell into disrepair. Most recently, at this central point in the city, there was a desolate place where nothing reminded of the buildings of the past.
On August 21, 1706, however, the Häfner Balthasar Wirth from Iphofen contacted the city council . He wanted to set up "the öthe wirths instead of aufm marckt" again. In the months that followed, Wirth tried to meet the demands associated with the new building. So a sketch was created , a so-called "Rieß" of the building to be built. The Gasthaus zur Sonne was inaugurated in 1707, and a pigsty was built next to the house in the period that followed .
The restaurant on the market square existed continuously from 1707 until 1956. In the 1950s, however, the district and city savings bank Iphofen-Scheinfeld acquired the buildings and set up an office here. Today the building houses a branch of the Sparkasse Mainfranken Würzburg . The house at Marktplatz 22 is classified as a historical building by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments. Underground remains of previous buildings are listed as soil monuments . It is also part of the Iphofen Old Town ensemble .
description
The Marktplatz 22 building presents itself as a two-storey, eaves gable roof building with an ornamental half-timbered upper floor. Comparisons of styles suggest that it was built by the same carpenter as the house at Maxstrasse 21 in Iphofen. The property has some special features, which are particularly reflected in the execution of the half-timbering . The ground floor was rebuilt in the middle of the 20th century. The baroque door frames with skylights and drilled window frames were preserved.
The half-timbered structure of the upper floor seems to have been installed in a disorderly manner, but at second glance there is a clear orientation. Two collar posts divide the front into three sections; the interior spaces can be read off from the exterior design. Man figures with long necks were attached as posts . The sections were again divided by so-called parapet ornaments.
The central axis with the hall inside is dominated by fire rams . The windows are arranged symmetrically around the center of the section. The same ornamental shapes are used in the surrounding sections, but they are reproduced here in a more simplified manner. The gable end appears similar. K struts can also be seen here. There are a total of three attic floors, which are mainly occupied by K-struts. The individual floors can also be clearly distinguished from one another in the gable.
