Architecture and history

The three-storey half - timbered house was built in 1673 by the master carpenter Peter Dünnehaupt . The inscription MP D decorated with a coat of arms refers to him . The half-timbered facade richly decorated with diamond crosses is remarkable . For Steinweg toward the house has a box bay window , the way in one of the attic dormer passes. There is a loading hatch there . The house entrance is still in its original place.

At 7.7 by 9.3 meters, the area of ​​the building is relatively small for a corner house. The property also has a minimal yard.

In July 1967, the roof of the house was damaged in a severe storm. Repair work was initially omitted and could only be carried out in 1969. The formation of real dry rot was favored by the penetrating moisture . Other parts of the ceiling collapsed. In 1970 the building was closed. In 1972 the VVB Saat- und Pflanzgut tried to expand the house and create living space for employees of the company. However, the project failed due to a lack of construction capacity. In 1973 the city building authorities tried to get construction workers and scaffolding to carry out work on the building. However, this also failed.

Due to the endangerment of the building, the Institute for the Preservation of Monuments put the house on the list of buildings whose renovation was to be carried out by the State Workshops for the Preservation of Monuments of Poland (Pracownie Konserwacji Zabytków, PKZ), branch Thorn , which were contractually bound by the GDR . It was the first project of its kind in the Quedlinburger Neustadt, after which other objects had already been realized in the old town. The construction work took place in 1977/78. A separate apartment was built on each of the three floors. The staircase, which had been in the middle of the building until then, was relocated to the west gable between massive walls. In the south-west corner of the house, the kitchens, bathrooms and toilets were created for all apartments. For this purpose, massive ceilings and walls were created in this area. Otherwise, however, it was possible to retain the load-bearing framework construction. The historically inclined position of the building was preserved and the doors and windows were elaborately adapted. The dwelling was expanded as a children's room and connected to the upper apartment via a staircase.
