The Schmerimenhaus is a listed Renaissance building in downtown Detmold in the Lippe district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). It was named after the patrician family Schmerimen, who lived here until 1659 and from 1592 to 1605, Johann Schmerimen was the mayor of Detmold. Besides the Detmolder Hof, the house is the only building with a stone gable of the Weser Renaissance and the oldest stone town house in the city center.

history

Is at the eaves to break Wall Street a bow window , which bears the year 1546th This is considered the oldest part of the building and formed the basis for the reconstruction of the house after the city fire in 1547. The builder was Christoph Monnink, known as Schmeremen (or Schmerimen or Schmerheim ). As early as 1560, the house became the property of his brother Arnd Schmerheim. In 1587 the gable end facing Langen Strasse was extensively redesigned with cantilevers, windows and gables. The conversion was probably carried out by the Lemgo masters Ludolf and Georg Croßmann. During this redesign, the year 1587 was also embedded in the facade, which is occasionally mentioned as the year of construction of the house. From 1621 to 1633 the Lippe Chancellor Christoph Deichmann and his wife Christine lived in the building. From 1659 the house passed from the Schmerimen family to sovereignty, in 1707 the district president Christoph von Piderit , who was probably responsible for the construction of the loggia in the courtyard and whose initials ( CVP ) are in a wall, bought it. The following owners were the Loßberg, Hoffmann, Koch and Ernst families. In 1873 the ground floor was fundamentally redesigned with shops. A stone with the inscription "Katharina von der Hoye", who was the wife of Mayor Schmerimen around 1605, was discovered above the right front door. At that time, the owners were the Pagel brothers, manufactory and fashion retailer. They showed their status as purveyors to the court in the form of the corresponding coat of arms above the entrance door. The butcher Heinrich Pieper, owner of the business from 1895, was also purveyor to the court.

In 1987, the facade was stripped of cement plaster and returned to its historical state, shop windows and shop doors were renewed in 1998.

architecture

The building is a plastered building with ashlar structure made of light sandstone. The building has two lobes on the gable side, and another is on the eaves facing Bruchmauerstraße. The stone gable cross is decorated with a lion's head. The main and outward gables are decorated with gable contours and fittings . The left aisle with two, the right with a niche and the inscriptions Fides, Spes and Caritas . Previously presumably existing figures have not been preserved. During the last renovation in 1987, the gable-side windows in particular were significantly changed and the wall anchors on the facade came to light again. Since then, a cartouche with an angel's head and the year 1587, which was located above the 1st floor between the illuminations, has no longer existed.

Two hall buildings adjoin the front building, the second of which has a plastered half-timbered upper floor. On the courtyard side there is a loggia, probably built in the early 18th century, with three Tuscan wooden columns on stone plinths.
