history

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 three-storey, plastered gabled house with a gable roof and the windows with segmental arches (front) was built in the 19th century in the era of historicism . The first floor was emphasized by a slight emphasis. The ground floor is four steps above street level; rare for this street. The plastered rear facade was simplified during modernizations. According to the address books, a master painter, window cleaner and master tailor lived here in 1904. A tobacco and cigar store was on the first floor. The house was renovated in the 1960 / 70s.

Today (2018) the house and the house are used by an umbrella shop founded in 1875 and for living.

The Low German street name Schnoor ( Snoor ) means cord: Here the houses are lined up like a string. The name came from the ship's craft and the manufacture of ropes and ropes (= cord).
