Architecture and history
The Face Slap House is a semi-detached house with a massive ground floor and two half-timbered floors, which have cornices richly decorated with carvings and a polygonal half-timbered bay window. It was built in 1608, presumably based on a design by the master builder Johannes Rink, as a residential and administrative building on behalf of the Hessian inheritance bailiff Phillipp Bley, who had his official residence in the Hessischer Hof .
Bley was slapped on the face by his superior because he had not given the permit for such a stately building, but only for a simple apartment building. Bley took this as an opportunity to put an inscription above the portal of the house, in which he was amused at his employer:
"PASCERE LIVOR INERS ODIO SATUARE MORS TUA RECTA DEUM FACTA COLEN EINTIS ERUNT"
The events earned the house the name "Slap House".
