Marowski House

The so-called Marowski House is the oldest house in Oderberg in Brandenburg and is on the Brandenburg State Monument List. After the devastating city fires of 1670 and 1672, it was rebuilt by the water miller Christian Otte in 1680. It is the oldest known. "Small-town Handwerkerhaus the city or mountain and also the oldest town house in the districts of Barnim and Märkisch Oderland" On the west gable of the lettering is carved in the former door beams and the crash bars: "M - CHRISTIAN OTTE, ANNO 1680, THE 11th MAY " . Otte ran the watermill on Berliner Straße until 1695. In 1733 the master potter Christoph Warband acquired the house and set up a pottery. The pottery was continued from 1764 by Johann Warband.

The picturesque half-timbered house is located in the so-called Malerwinkel in the old Oberkietz and was a popular motif for picturesque genre scenes in earlier centuries. Some pictures are still in the Oderberg local museum. The two-storey, transversely structured half-timbered house was partly built with older beams, which obviously came from previous buildings. Centrally located is the large open and massive black kitchen on the ground floor with a drawn half-timbered chimney. It has attached half-timbered walls on the upper floor and a conical smoke chimney in the roof area. Despite some renovations in the past centuries, a large part of the original substance has been preserved, as well as building details such as doors, windows and stoves from different times ... The roof structure of the rafter roof with the seldom documented "Brandenburg longitudinal bond" is particularly interesting. Originally covered with thatch , the roof of the house had to be covered with tiles in the form of beaver tails in the 18th century due to the risk of fire in the city . During the renovation in the mid-1990s, the roof was reconstructed as a plain plain tile roofing with wooden planks . In 2015, the roof was re-covered with double roofing using the old beaver tails.
