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 gable house with a saddle roof , the accentuated gable tip, the two coat of arms stones in the Süsterstraße from 1615 by the mayors Johann Schlichting and Johann Heerde (the elder) and the inscription Anno 1738 above the door was built in the first half of the 16th century (1501/1550) built in the late Gothic and Renaissance epochs . The baroque portal dates from 1738. In 1967/68 the house was rebuilt and renovated.
Today (2018) the house is used by a shop ( Bernstein Atelier ), offices 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).
