history
The building was formerly used as the seat of the lay jury with a detention cell and an alleged stake. It was also the seat of the mayor . The building got its name because it was used as a forced brewery during the time of the Kornelimünster Imperial Abbey . The name comes from the word pan (Platt: pann), as the beer was brewed there in pans.
Brewing began in the 15th century. Eilendorf was granted brewing rights as early as 1413. In 1454 Heyngen Keller secured the brewing rights and that for his descendants. The brewing rights were granted by the abbey. The Meessen family brewed in the 17th century, and Martin Meessen was also governor . The local researcher Josef Kind dealt intensively with the Pannhaus.
Some parts of the building were built later, the anchor number 1622 refers to this. In the years 1845/1846 the building was renewed and expanded. The keystone on the back of the house bears the inscription 1845 PIO . Again, the keystone above the front door shows the engraving 1846 . The Pannhaus is connected to the old tithe barn, today's parish home.
The house is registered as a monument in the list of architectural monuments in Aachen-Eilendorf .
