Pingelhus
The Pingelhus (also Schuitenhäuschen ) is in the center of the East Frisian district town of Aurich . It is considered one of the city's landmarks . The building was once located directly on the city's old port.
The Pingelhus is a two-story building with a hipped roof and ridge turret . Master builder Conrad Bernhard Meyer built it probably around 1800 during the course of the first construction of a port on behalf of the Treckfahrtsgesellschaft as a port keeper and forwarding building. From there the Schuiten cast off in the direction of Emden . The harbor master announced her departure by striking a bell in the roof turret of the building, which is why it became known in East Frisia under the name Pingelhus ( East Frisian flat : pingeln = to ring ). The current ground floor used to be the first floor. The storage room below was filled in with the old port in 1934. In 1959 the house was saved from demolition through a private initiative and then renovated. Since then, the Aurich Heimatverein and the folk dance group have used it as a clubhouse.
