location

Architecture and history

It is a three - story half - timbered house with an attic from the 17th century. A year of construction is not known, but since the neighboring building on the left dates from 1656 and it will be built together with it, the same age can be assumed.

On the first and second floors of the house there are only two windows on the street front. So the building is relatively narrow.

The roof, on which there is a small dormer, is now directly connected to the neighboring building, Marktstrasse 27 .

The height of the building's ground floor has been kept remarkably low. As a result, the entrance to the house is not even 1.80 m high. This led to the popular expression Villa Duckdich for this and the neighboring building.

The building used to have the town list number 639. At that time it was a residential building with a transverse courtyard and stable. In the years 1895/1896, the owners were the merchant Ernst Brüning and his wife Karoline geb. Brüning. They were followed in 1906 by their son Bernhard Brüning, who sold it to the worker Hans Peters. Simple workers and day laborers also lived in this house in earlier centuries .

In the local register of monuments , the house is listed as a monument under registration number 094 25175.

In 2015 the two houses Marktstrasse 27 and Marktstrasse 29 were acquired by a family from Bavaria and completely renovated in the years 2016 to 2018. In doing so, the buildings were completely gutted and rebuilt in accordance with the listed buildings. The spatial conditions presented a particular challenge: the street front of the house at Marktstrasse 29 is only a little more than 3 meters wide. This decreases further towards the rear and is only just over 2 meters there. After the renovation, the houses will each have two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen with dining area and two bathrooms. The two houses have been used as holiday homes since 2019.
