The north-south running Scharrnstraße in the city ​​center of Braunschweig connects the north located Bäckerklint with the south transverse Sonnenstraße and the street An der Martinikirche . The street, formerly characterized by half - timbered houses , lost its original character due to the destruction during the Second World War and subsequent redesigns.

history

The Scharrnstraße, which runs in the soft area of ​​the old town , was designated as platea schernere in 1304 . It is named after the meat scrapers, that is, the meat banks , the old town bone cutter . The Scharren are said to have been in the place of today's Löbbecke banking house (insurance number 757) in the 13th century , but were probably removed as early as the 14th century and moved to the south side of the Gewandhaus . Around 1400 there were 173 such stalls owned by the city in the city, 34 of which were in the outskirts of the old town.

Historic buildings

Hotel City of London (Scharrnstrasse 7)

In the 16th century, Brunswick councilor Meine von Peinen was the owner of the Zur Güldenen Kugel inn , which was one of the city's finest hostels. His successor was the patrician Hans von Peinen around 1600. The house housed King Christian II of Denmark in 1538 and Duke Franz von Gifhorn in 1544 . The name was later changed to City of London . The house was demolished in 1870. One of the prominent guests was the English railway engineer John Stanley Blenkinsop , who stayed here in 1838.

Residential building (Scharrnstrasse 9)

The house with the insurance number 749, which was renovated in 1503, had a half-timbered floor on a two-storey stone substructure. The builder of the house was the councilor of the old town Tile von Damm († 1502). The house bore his coat of arms as well as that of his wife Ilse, b. from Kalm. The following house inscriptions have survived:

A anno d (omi) ni m cc ° ccca) iiib) in the sa (ncti) vit (i) A (men)
B anno d (omi) ni m ccccc unde im xxx iiij years
CU (lricus) H (enricus) S (tieber) D (efensor) 1698

A tendril decorated stair margin on the threshold of ornamented with 20 mask heads cleats worn, carried inscription A. The translation is: "In the year of the Lord 1503 at St. Vitustag (June 15th) Amen." The inscription B called on the threshold of the right side building in the courtyard, the year the courtyard was renovated (1534). Another courtyard building bore the house owner's coat of arms from 1698 with the inscription C. This was the Brunswick District Councilor Ulrich Heinrich Stieber (1663-1717).

The building was destroyed in 1944.

Half-timbered house (Scharrnstrasse 13)

The two-story half-timbered building built by Hans Sporleder with the insurance number 791 was destroyed in 1944. The house was richly adorned with stair friezes, fully sculpted carved figures, masks, animal heads, rosettes and shields. The following inscription has survived:

An (n) od (omi) ni m ° cccc ° lxx i (n) die santi vrba (n) i
(Translated: In the year of the Lord 1470 on the day of St. Urban ( May 25th ))

More buildings

At Scharrnstraße 1 there was a half-timbered house with the insurance number 741 that was destroyed in the Second World War. An inscription bore the year 1453 in Roman numerals . In his youth, Konrad Koch , who later introduced the football game in Germany, lived at Scharrnstrasse 5 . The Brauner Hirsch inn was located at Scharrnstrasse 12. At Scharrnstrasse 18, there was a half-timbered house built in 1558 with a large gate that was arched by a late Gothic donkey's back .

Piano construction company Zeitter & Winkelmann

The Braunschweig piano manufacturer Zeitter & Winkelmann has its origins in Scharrnstraße, where Christian Ludewig Theodor Winkelmann founded the piano factory, which was moved to Wollmarkt ten years later, in 1837 .

Kemenaten

In the Scharrnstrasse, a comparatively large number of buildings had a bower , ie a stone room that could be heated with a fireplace (Latin: caminus). Since the 13th century, buildings of this type, mostly built in the rear part of a half-timbered house, have been used to store valuable property and, above all, to provide structural fire protection . In his essay, Karl Steinacker names seven buildings in the street, house no. 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 19 and 24. In 1936 four of them were still largely preserved. Because of the expensive building material, kemenaten were reserved for the wealthier strata of the population, ie the patriciate , the collegiate clergy and the nobility.
