Neustädter Schenke, around 1908

The Neustädter Schenke at Breiten Straße 80 is a listed building in the town of Wernigerode in the Harz district in Saxony-Anhalt . It is an earlier inn, which housed the town hall of the new town of Wernigerode until the 16th century.

Architecture and history

The building is located on Breite Straße , one of the city's main shopping streets. It is two-story and has a double attic with a pointed roof . The street front of the building was built with functional half-timbering , partly with St. Andrew's crosses . It can be clearly seen that originally there were two separate buildings that were assembled.

As the town hall of the new town, the building can be verified for the first time in 1446. When the Neustädter Rathaus burned down in 1528, Simon Hilleborch rebuilt the building as a Neustädter Schenke in 1529.

The building had the location list number 355. At that time it was a residential building with a courtyard, stable across (1908 demolition), stable left (1908 demolition) and stable right (1908 demolition). In 1908 the side buildings were rebuilt.

In 1895/96 the owner of the building was the innkeeper Heinrich Ahrends and his wife Friederike geb. Brandt.

The building was largely spared from the city fires and the bombing raid in 1944. Immediately to the right of the house in February 1944, an aerial bomb hit and destroyed the upper floors of the neighboring hotel building, Zum Bären .

The use of the building as a restaurant came to a standstill at the beginning of the 21st century. Most recently, the upper floor was used by a Greek restaurant, while a bank branch was located on the ground floor.

The house is listed in the monument register of the city of Wernigerode as an architectural monument under registration number 094 03270.

According to a legend , a bear was buried at the Neustädter Schenke and covered with the so-called bear stone. Hence the name of the Hotel Zum Neustädter Bären (later simply "Zum Bären") probably originated in 1901, next door in Faulbaum's house at Breite Straße 78.
