Wulflamhaus
The Wulflamhaus is a 14th century town house on the Alter Markt in Stralsund . It is the north German brick Gothic associate and is one of the best preserved residences of the late Gothic period in northern Germany.
The building was commissioned by the then councilor and later mayor of Stralsund, Bertram Wulflam . He had this house built opposite the Stralsund town hall before 1358.
The show facade typical of the north German brick Gothic is striking, which is characterized by the elaborate pillar gable construction typical of Stralsund in particular. This underwent multiple changes and was extensively reconstructed between 1988 and 1991.
In the house and also in the nearby courtyard there is a hall, a gallery , several storage rooms and a brewery . Wall paintings from the 15th century have been preserved inside the house . Another structural detail is the Kemlade , a rear wing extension in half-timbered construction, which extends over two floors. The original house tree is clearly visible.
It is believed that the two wall openings visible at the front of the house once contained supports for a balcony.
The Wulflamhaus now houses a restaurant and the press office of the Stralsund city administration.
The house is located in the core area of the city area recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site of the “ historic old towns of Stralsund and Wismar ”. It is entered with the number 7 in the list of architectural monuments in Stralsund .
