history

The corner house at Steingasse 16 has a roof structure that was dendrochronologically dated to the year 1535. The top floor was used as a storage floor. Apartments with kitchens and chambers were available on the upper floors. There was originally a workshop on the ground floor. The builder Kluge built a rear building for the bookseller Carl Riemann, who had taken over the bookstore founded in 1805 by his father Johann Gerhard Riemann. In 1875, as part of a shop extension, the ground floor was converted with a new facade design by Hermann Kühn for the JG Riemann'sche Hofbuchhandlung. In 1988 the owner had an extensive renovation work carried out on the building complex.
