history

Coat of arms of the patrician family Schürstab

In the 12th century, two individual houses were built at this point, which were later combined into one house. Until 1328 the owners were "Unholder Ministeriale", 1328–1478 the house belonged to the Schürstab family, which can be traced back to Nuremberg from the 13th century, and the first renovations were carried out in 1390 and 1406 (by Erhart the Elder Schürstab). In the years 1482/83 the two houses were merged by the new owner Carl Schwerzer and a house chapel was built. 1508–1518 the building belonged to the councilor Anton Tetzel and from 1645–1791 to the legal family Fetzer (councilors). Changes were made in the centuries that followed, but the house was increasingly neglected.

In 1943 the roof structure was destroyed in a bomb attack and later only replaced by an emergency roof. The house was not completely restored until 1995–97. During the renovation it was given the (not historical) name "Schürstabhaus".

The building

The 4 to 5-storey patrician house has a low, ogival portal on the west side. The two originally separate houses can be recognized by the different number of floors. The building has a three-storey roof on which a Nuremberg-style, carved roof bay window with a pointed helmet sits. It contains some special features: the vaulted house chapel (star rib vault) on the ground floor, the staircase built around 1620 with post-Gothic parapets and a sundial on the south side. At the southwest corner of the house there is a Gothic “Maria with the Child” dated 1482; the original is in the Germanic National Museum . The sandstone bay on the west side was not added until 1995-97, based on a model in the neighborhood that was destroyed during the war.
