Heroic House
The Seiferheld house at Zollhüttengasse 6 in Schwäbisch Hall is a residential building from the 16th century and a former care yard . For a time it was the location of a printing company and now houses a three-screen cinema.
description
The three-storey house with gable ends is the former home of the Seiferheld family, who were raised to the nobility in 1577. Georg Seiferheld (1563–1616) was administrator of the Schönthaler Pflegehof and its goods in the area of the imperial city. He was married to Maria Müller (1572–1636), the daughter of the Privy Councilor Georg Müller. This couple is indicated by an inscription that can be read in the wedge above the arched house entrance and under which the family coat of arms are: "GEORG SEIFERHELDT I AM NOMINATED IN THE SCHONTLER HOFF WELL KNOWN IESVS CHRISTVS IS MY HEALING MARIA MUELLER HAVE HAVS EHLICHE". The three letters or Roman numerals V, C and V are carved over the coat of arms, the three numbers 1, 6 and 2 under the coat of arms, which is interpreted as the year 1602. The heraldic right coat of arms is that of the Seiferheld or Seifferheld family, the left that of Maria Müller. The coat of arms of the Müller family can also be found in other places in Schwäbisch Hall: In St. Michael, for example, on a donor board, also on a donor board of the grammar school, and also on Hans Schreyer's cityscape in Haalamt from 1643. These coats of arms are all turned shown. They all show a golden, red-tongued lion with a ball in its front paw. However, in some depictions this ball has characteristics of a fruit and is also referred to as an apple in some descriptions.
Dendrochronological examinations of wooden parts of the house have shown that these are older than the cited inscription, which probably only indicates a renovation. The wooden parts of the house date from 1545/46.
The ground floor and the first floor were built from stone, the upper part in half-timbered construction . The decorative framework is exposed. The house has three profiled advances and an elevator door with elevator beams.
Owner and usage
The house apparently remained in the possession of the Seiferheld family for three generations. After Georg Seiferheld and his wife, the landlord Georg Friedrich Seiferheld (1613–1686) and his son of the same name, a war commissioner, are documented as owners.
In 1717 it belonged to the scribe Johann Heinrich Döllin, in 1759 it passed into the hands of the red tanner Johann Christoph Schloßstein and in 1767 to the privileged book printer Johann Christoph Messerer. Thereafter, Johann Heinrich Messerer was the owner of the house. He set up his print shop there.
In 1824 Isaac Henle owned the house and in 1833 he sold it to his son-in-law Adolf Mirabeau. This went bankrupt, which is why the building passed into the hands of the former ox host Josef Groß in 1846. In 1875 the brothers Falk and Wolf Oppenheimer took over the house. They were cattle dealers.
In 1898 the house became the property of the municipality of Schwäbisch Hall. In the following years it was apparently always rented to several parties; In 1910 it belonged to the merchant Wilhelm Bayerdörfer, and in 1920 to the fitter Friedrich Köngetter (or Köngeter), from whose estate it passed to the son of the same name.
First cinema in town
Friedrich Köngetter junior was also a fitter, but also called himself the owner of a movie theater: In 1913 the city's first permanent cinema was opened in the Seiferheld House. The two high-voltage electricians Karl Ferdinand Sommer and Friedrich Köngetter set up the first cinema hall at Zollhüttengasse 6. The first film that was shown here was The Film by Queen Luise . Friedrich Koenigetter's sister married Friedrich Koehnlein; the couple continued to run the cinema. The first sound film was shown in 1931. The cinema is still owned by the Köhnlein family. Plans to move the Schwäbisch Hall cinemas to a cinema center were discarded; Meanwhile, the city is also working to ensure that the movie theater in Zollhüttengasse is preserved.
