The house with the postal address Neuer Markt 16-17 is a listed building in the Hanseatic city of Stralsund on the Neuer Markt at the corner of Frankenstrasse .
The building was erected in 1874 as a garrison hospital; previously gabled houses stood here. The three-storey building made of yellow brick with red banding has a massive, seven-axis facade facing the Neuer Markt and a 19-axis facade facing Frankenstrasse.
High arched windows on the two upper floors characterize the appearance. Tower-like raised corner projections and the central projection with tracery windows on the long side facing Frankenstrasse underline the monumental effect of the building, which is closed off by a strongly protruding console cornice.
A small, former morgue built in half-timbered houses has been preserved in the courtyard on Frankenstrasse .
It was used by the military until 1931, when it was used as an employment office . In 1945 the Soviet Army seized the building, which was later used by the People's Police and, from the mid-1950s, by the GDR's consumer cooperative . After extensive renovation in the mid-2000s, it serves as a residential and commercial building.
The house is located in the core area of the city area recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site of the “ historic old towns of Stralsund and Wismar ”. It is entered in the list of architectural monuments in Stralsund with the number 605.
