Architecture and history

The two-storey half - timbered house was built around 1560. The property is registered as a merchant's house in the Quedlinburg monument register. The steep, hipped roof of the building is striking . The upper and attic floors of the house protrude. The facade of the old merchant's house is richly decorated on three sides with half-timbered decorations in the Lower Saxon style. There is a wavy ribbon , fan rosette and ship throats with a dew stick . There are roller motifs on the protruding ceiling beams. There are lugs below the beams .

While the half-timbering from the construction period on the western gable side is still largely original, the basement on the north side was rebuilt several times in the 19th century. So it got bigger window openings. It was probably during this time that the double-winged door including the skylight was added. In the 16th century, there was a spacious hallway on the ground floor, which was bordered by large rooms that were probably intended for economic purposes. A two-flight staircase with a railing from the 19th century leads to the upper floor. The upper part of the railing is believed to have originated in the Baroque period . During the construction period, four living rooms went off the top. A representative living space has been preserved there. The ceilings are decorated with paintings using the grisaille technique, the oldest layer of which dates from the second half of the 16th century. In the middle of smaller and larger coffered fields there are images of aldegrave tendrils , flowers and fruits. The paintings are cut from probably more recent paintings with diamond crosses and acanthus flowers .

Noteworthy is a door lintel with a donkey back profile that was found during renovation in this area . There is a similar profile in Quedlinburg in the Schuhmachergildehaus .

Originally, the compartments were filled with wickerwork and were plastered with lime . During the construction period, the timber was painted with linseed oil . Later, in the Baroque period , the beams were painted black. The wavy ribbon was drawn in red. In the 19th century the house had a rosewood color scheme. The decoration painter Fritz Leweke gave the facade a colorful new coat of paint in 1910. During this period the building was used as a residential building. In 1909 there were several rooms off the hallway, two kitchens and a laundry room in the extension on the south side .

On the east side there is a massive, plastered extension in the classicism style . In the courtyard there is a half-timbered residential and storage building based on a building inscription in 1684. The roof structure is still from the construction time. The interior layout is also largely original. The building has a barrel vaulted cellar .

Until 1935 there was a "manufacturing and trading shop" in the house, which was owned by the Försterling & Hellmund company. The company was owned by the businessman Albert Fischer. He traded in non-toxic paints and chemical preparations. In particular with the legally protected cake spice "nectarin". The company on the one hand and the Word 3 residential building, with an unmeasured courtyard, were built by the son of Albert Fischer, who died on July 6, 1935, Dr. Erich Fischer sells.
