history
The house was built around 1400. It is the last reconstructed medieval town house in the Hanseatic city. The pointed late Gothic gable was named after the house and the restaurant located in it today. The house used to be used as a wine house, slaughterhouse, beer hall and office building.
The Utlucht came from 1590; it had three rectangular windows above and two below. The portal dates from around 1610. Prosch describes the building: "The earliest form [...] is the Gothic brick-gabled house, as it was used again and again in a fairly constant facade scheme until the middle of the 16th century".
The red-stone-faced, two-storey building with a gable roof , which was destroyed in 1944 in the Second World War, was rebuilt on behalf of a brewery from 1948/49 to 1950 according to plans by the architect Bernhard Wessel . A few changes were made: The Utlucht was given four sandstone windows, both above and below. The four gothic gable windows were now also smaller rectangular windows. Their previously cleaned infill in the pointed arched border was now done in Rotstein. The height of the gable was also slightly lower.
Monument : The small bronze monument Fietje Balge by Bernd Altenstein stands on the small open space in front of the Spitzen Gebel in memory of the Balge , a former tributary of the Weser, which led past the house.
