history

It is one of the "Seven Castles" of Hall. According to the founding legend, these were the first structures of the medieval settlement and formed the official residence of the noble rulers of the town and salt works , including their apartments.

These were:

  • the Salzgrafenburg, or Burg Hall; Seat of the salt count , today the location of the main church of St Michael .
  • the Schultheißenburg; Seat of the mayor
  • the mint master's castle; Seat of the mint master
  • the Sulmeisterburg ; Seat of the Sulmeister , the overseer of the salt works.
  • the Feurerburg; Seat of the fireman , the overseer for the firewood of the salt works.
  • the Keßlerburg; Seat of the kessler , the overseer of the forge and pans .
  • the Siedersburg; Seat of the boiler , which the Siedknechten board.

In the course of time, these offices were passed on to Erb , so they were passed on from one generation to the next. The original office titles became the family names of the respective office holders. Only the earlier salt counts called themselves, differently, von Hall .

The building was originally the official residence of the Sieders, after which the Sieder family named themselves and who held this office for a long time. According to Rudolph Friedrich von Moser's description of the Hall Oberamt , the boilers were one of the "seven castles families" of Hall. The family name has been documented since 1390. Bearers of the name are also mentioned as judges and mayors of the imperial city . In 1503 the family in Hall died out.

The house today

Today the secular building is a three-storey, essentially Romanesque stone house and is in private use for shops and apartments. The eleven meter high and approximately one meter thick walls have been preserved from the original Siedersburg. After the city fire of 1728, the building was redesigned in baroque style.

The building is a listed building
