history
The house was built in 1898 by Christian Zillinger as a four-story, massive brick building. The front sides were clad with natural stone. There was an inn and a shop on the ground floor, and an apartment for the two owners on the first floor. On the second and third floors there was an apartment with a separate servant staircase, the top floor was probably used to accommodate the staff.
The facade of the building is richly decorated both on the street side and towards the Hammer Canal. The two lower floors are clad with rusticated reddish stone . Window roofs , decorative niches and gilded balcony grilles can be found on the two floors, which once housed elegant apartments . On the north-western corner of the building there is still an inscription that refers to the former use as an inn "Schillerhof", and there is also a bust of Friedrich Schiller on the building . A scaled-down replica of the bust was given to the Schillerschule as a gift on the occasion of the renovation of the house.
