Architecture and history

It is a two-story building. These include a courtyard with former stables and a garden that extends towards Holtemme.

The house was built before the Prussian colony Friedrichsthal was built on Langen Strasse in 1767/1768 .

The building owner was the ruling Count Christian Ernst zu Stolberg-Wernigerode . On February 3, 1744, he received the requested license from the War and Domain Chamber in Halberstadt to build a new bar in Hasserode, after it had already approved a Mr. Kratzenstein's permission to build a controversial inn opposite the Wernigerode Schützenhaus.

In 1745 the new Auerhahnen Schencke was expanded and from the New Year of 1746 the inn could be leased to the count's side to the previous raft master Matthias Hellvoigt. The lease was tentatively set at 10 thalers for one year. Already after a short time the Auerhahnschenke enjoyed increasing popularity, so that in 1747 the lease with Hellvoigt was extended to 1763 and the price of 15 thalers a year.

During the Seven Years' War the tavern suffered from billeting of French soldiers.

Hellvoigt gave up the tavern for reasons of age before the lease expired. The count's groom Friedrich Christoph Becker became the new tenant and landlord. In 1771 the ruling Count Heinrich Ernst zu Stolberg-Wernigerode sold the tavern to the War and Domain Chamber in Halberstadt in order to "put an end to the new errors and impairments of this Schencke".

In the local monument register , the house is listed as a monument under registration number 094 03327 in the Friedrichstraße monument area.
