history

The original population of the Schnoor consisted mainly of river fishermen and boatmen. In the epoch of classicism and historicism , most of the buildings, often small ones , 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 two-storey, plastered, eaves half-timbered house with a saddle roof was built around 1805 in the classicism era . In 1963 it was converted according to plans by the monument conservator and architect Karl Dillschneider .
Today (2018) the house and Schnoor 43 and 41 are used by the Institute for Low German Language (INS). However, the continuation of the INS has not been clarified since 2017.

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