Zehnthaus (Stockheim)
The Zehnthaus in Stockheim , a district of Brackenheim in the Heilbronn district in Baden-Württemberg , was built in 1604 by the Teutonic Order below Stocksberg Castle . The building is a listed building .
history
After the Stocksberg Castle above Stockheim was destroyed in the Peasants' War of 1525, it was rebuilt under German master Heinrich von Bobenhausen (term of office 1572–1590). A few years after the new palace was built, the order's administrative buildings were also rebuilt in the town at the foot of the Schlossberg. In 1604 the office building for the mayor installed by the Teutonic Order (later Stockheim Town Hall) and the Zehnthaus, located about 100 meters away at the western end of the village on the road to Kleingartach, were built. Due to various structural specifics, the nearby House John on the corner of Pfarrstrasse and Kurz Strasse is also counted as part of the Teutonic Order construction activity in Stockheim in 1604/05.
description
The building was erected along the road to Kleingartach running west from the village . It has a stone basement and a half-timbered upper floor , the roof structure is developed as a two-storey fruit floor .
The most striking architectural feature of the Zehnthaus is the stair tower on the eastern gable side, designed as a real Wendelstein , with a sloping window, as can also be found on the castle with three sloping windows. The tower is covered by a roof spire with a point and a bulb. The sides of the tower are painted with three-dimensional rectangular surfaces.
The western gable side of the building is designed as a volute gable , the three volutes of which are each crowned by vases. Except for the western gable side, the remaining three sides of the building are half- timbered.
In addition to the portal at the foot of the stair tower, there is a high rectangular double window in the basement of the eastern gable side. This combination of portal and adjacent double window can also be found at the Amtshaus (i.e. town hall) and at Haus John . Another structural correspondence is the similar footbands of the buildings, which are offset with their noses and grooves in the same order from left to right in the gable end. The Teutonic Order is considered to be the joint builder of all three buildings, a joint master builder seems conceivable.
