background

The aforementioned corner house with a side wing on Süderfischerstraße dates from the 18th century. The muddy front of the building consists of half-timbering on the upper floor , the underlying masonry was made of bricks . There are decorative anchors at the top of the gable , including two bay windows and two shop windows on the ground floor that were added around 1900. The house was named after the former owner family who had been running a handicraft shop there since the 1930s .

Since the 1950s, the Thormählen-Haus with the Johannisviertel was endangered by a road construction project. In 1968, in the zoning plan parallel to the embankment of the Flensburg port railway, a strip of land was designated for the construction of a high-speed road, which was to be connected at the tip of the harbor with an elevated street layout on the east and west side, similar to the shape of a motorway junction . The street project, based on plans by the architect Bruno Wehner , was not implemented and finally discarded around the 1990s. The inner city of Flensburg was instead relieved by the west and east bypasses. In the 1980s the handicraft shop closed.

Today the house is home to the Haithabu dart bar , which has its logo and the shop window in the Viking style and is named after the Haithabu trading center . The neon sign with the name of the Thormählen House was retained.
