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 two-storey, narrow, plastered gabled house with a gable roof and a much later half-timbered facade was built after 1860 in the era of historicism . It was renovated and rebuilt in 1973.

In the vicinity are the residential buildings Wüstestätte 2 to 9 as well as the St. Jakobus Packhaus (10) and the Packhaus Theater Bremen (11).
Today (2018) the house is used by a shop, offices and living.

The street name Desert Place has probably been a reminder since 1662 of a desert place that was created after a major fire. It was not rebuilt until after 1800.
