The Senfthaus was a half-timbered building on the market square of the Upper Franconian town of Weismain , with the address Am Markt 28 . It was considered the largest and most representative house of members of the wealthy Senft family from Weismain . The oldest structure came from the end of the 16th century. Since the house was demolished in 1973, the former location of the building has been a vacant lot in the old town of Weismain.
history
The owner Moritz Senft († 1605) inherited the property with the previous building after the death of his parents Matthes († 1578) and Kunigunda († 1585). For reasons unknown, he had his parents' house demolished and a new house built in the same place, which, apart from minor construction work, remained unchanged until it was demolished in 1973. After Moritz Senft's death, the house became the property of his widow Barbara. After her death in 1619, she bequeathed the house to her son Johann (Hans), who sold it in 1625.
architecture
The building was erected as a broad structure with a massive, sandstone ground floor. Above that, a half-timbered upper floor and four attic floors were connected up to the top of the gable. The ground floor was plastered and had a large gate with a profiled pointed arch that led into the inner courtyard of the house. Next to the gate there were two rectangular windows with a profiled frame . Both the upper floor and the gable walls were built in a visible half-timbered construction. At a later date, the entire half-timbered facade was slated. The end of the house was a slated gable roof . In the 20th century, two of the ground floor windows were removed for a shop window.
