Marstall (Münstermaifeld)
The Marstall in Münstermaifeld , a town in the district of Mayen-Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate), was founded in 1535 by Elector Johann III. built by Metzenhausen .
Johann Büchel V. writes in his chronicle:
"The former Probstliche Kellerey and Marstall, including its accessories, is located on the southern part of the year march and the northern part of the weekly market and separates the two marketplaces from one another, goes in a straight line westward from Kirchstrasse to the east and forms part of Herrenstrasse, has a length of 90 Meters and a width of 36 meters. "
This made the Marstall the second largest and tallest building in the city after the collegiate church. The three storage levels for taking tithes and other donations were accessible via a mighty staircase . Stables were housed below.
On February 1, 1914, the building burned down to the ground.
Probably by arson broke in the side part, threshing floor , the fire out. There the straw and fodder supplies of the then tenant Jakob Krechel (owner of the nearby Maifelder Hof ) were piled up, which provided the fire with plenty of food. Despite the long rain of sparks that went down over the houses on the eastern Herrenstrasse, Stiftsstrasse and the rectory and the Krechel estate (Maifelder Hof), no other building caught fire. Under the leadership of the mayor, six fire brigades were able to save the outbuilding with the Casion (today's Propstei II building) except for a badly damaged roof structure . Peter Hoff, a native of Münster , who supported the extinguishing work with other seminarians, suffered severe burns in the process, but was later honored for his performance. The building, insured for 1,700 marks , was later demolished by decision of the city council, as only the foundation walls and the two large gables were still standing.
