Architecture and history

The three-story half - timbered house was built around 1680 with overhanging upper floors. It probably served as a house for the preachers of the monastery. The facade shows the pyramid beam heads typical of the construction period . There are ship throats on the thresholds of the upper floors . Collars and fillers have a carnation profile . The compartments are lined with hand-formed bricks. They show the typical smoke traces of the field fire oven used for production . The joints are filled with white plaster mortar . The gable of the house is unplastered and shows this historical lining of the compartments. The wood used is coniferous wood . Noteworthy is the unusual coloring of the facade with gray wooden beams and the brickwork with an ocher-yellow background as well as gray and white bandwork , which shows motifs such as cloth hangings, foliage and cones. The paintings are counted as stucco imitations. As inclined half-timbered components were painted over, rectangular facade fields were created. The facade design goes back to a redesign of the facade in the late Baroque / Rococo period around 1730. A similar design is known in Quedlinburg only on four other objects, including the Breite Straße 53 and the Stieg 16 .

There is only a basement in the front part of the house. The cellar has a barrel vault made of bricks , which is aligned parallel to the street. A smaller vault consists of a sandstone wall . The roof of the building is designed as a rafter roof .

From 1754 to 1760 the poet Nikolaus Dietrich Giseke , a friend of the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, lived in the house . The Klopstockhaus is in the immediate vicinity. The windows of the house were enlarged in the 18th century. The parapet bars were set down and the infill of the parapet compartments renewed. It is possible that there was a profiled parapet wood below the window before the renovation work .

The Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. donated the house to the parish after the monastery was dissolved. After secularization in 1803, the building was the domain house and home of the teacher David Braunbehrens in 1820 . There was also a school on the property. The school building, which was oriented across the main building, was demolished in the 19th century. Components from the old school were reused as part of the renovation of the main building. An initially existing large gate passage was later removed, whereby the right gate post was retained. The two-winged door that is still preserved today was built in the former passage.

At the end of the 19th century, Schloßberg 9 was owned by the St. Servatius community .

In 1988, older paintwork was removed from the facade and the original facade design in the form of arabesques was rediscovered. In 1992 an infestation with white rot fungus , common rodent beetles and house buck was found. In the area of the eaves was Serpula lacrymans found. A renovation took place in the 1990s, whereby the facade was also restored in its original color design.

The house is now used as a residential building. The pastor's offices are on the ground floor. The interior design goes back to the renovations from the 19th century.
