history

The building on Tiefburgplatz opposite the Tiefburg was built in the 16th or 17th century. It was the house of an agricultural property, which is still indicated by the archway to the right of the house from the 18th century. This goes back to Ezekiel Hess, who moved in through marriage, was part of the local Reformed community and was a church council from 1812. The keystone of the archway once had the initials EZH . A Hess daughter married Michael Elfner and lived with him on the ground floor, while Ludwig Fischer's family lived on the upper floor. Ownership of the house was divided according to the Baden condominium , so that the entrance door shows the year 1852 and the initials of the heads of the family ME and LF .

In the 1880s two sons of Johann Friedrich Pollich, namely Heinrich Pollich (1867-1942) and Johann Friedrich Pollich II (1864-1932) married into the Elfner and Fischer families, so that the whole house gradually came to the Pollich family , from which the house also got the house name.

Instead of the buildings in Steubenstrasse (on the right in the foreground) there were once the agricultural outbuildings of the Pollich house. In the background on the left the facade of the Tiefburgplatz towards the Tiefburgplatz.

Up until the 20th century, the building formed the residential building of a larger agricultural property that occupied the entire corner of Dossenheimer Landstrasse and Steubenstrasse up to the junction with Unteren Kirchgasse. The corner house at Dossenheimer Landstrasse / Steubenstrasse was a blacksmith's shop with an apartment above (today a commercial building), followed by Friedrich Pollich's barn and stable (today Café Tiefburg or Uhren-Bowe) to the south, and Heinrich Pollich's long, narrow barn with a stable further south.

Heinrich Pollich, who died in 1942, was the last to use the property for agriculture. Instead of the demolished agricultural outbuildings, residential and commercial buildings were built in the period that followed. Heinrich Pollich's grandson, the architect Hans-Peter Pollich, renovated the house in 1987/88 in accordance with a listed building.
