history

Residential building Wüstestätte 1

No. 11: Packhaus Theater

The street name Wüstestätte reminds probably since 1662 into a desert place, which was created after a major fire. It was not rebuilt until after 1800.

The original population of the Schnoor consisted mainly of river fishermen and boatmen. In the epoch of classicism and historicism , most of the often small buildings were built from around 1800 to 1890. In the further course it became a poor people's quarter, which largely fell into disrepair - especially after the Second World War . In 1959 the city passed a statute for the protection of the building stock worth preserving. The houses have been documented and many have been listed as historical monuments since the 1970s. From the 1960s onwards, with the support of the city, renovations, gap closings and renovations took place in the Schnoor.

The desert site was probably named that way after 1629, as a large fire devastated the area. It was not rebuilt until around 1800, but the name remained.

The mostly two-storey, plastered houses with pitched roofs and also as half-timbered houses were mostly built in the 19th century in the epoch of classicism and historicism for mostly simple people.
