The house Zum Goldenen Stör was at Markt 16 in Düren , North Rhine-Westphalia . On the east side of the market square stood the Düren family home of the Schoeller family , the Prymsche House, this house was formerly called "Zum Goldenen Stör" , and at times also spelled Stöhr or Steur . His signature was the sturgeon .

The patrician house "Zum Goldenen Stör" - at that time still without an "h" - or "Zum Fisch" was mentioned in a document as early as 1417.

In 1417 the owners of the house were "Goissen zom Storrne und Magrit". Accordingly, the house was named "Zum Stör" as early as 1417. The "Stör" was a hostel and restaurant and was owned by Margaretha Meißheim in 1635. On November 28, 1635, she sold her property called Zum Steuren (Zum Stör) on the Kornmarkt (today market square) to Johann Huppertz and Katarina Mevies and their heirs in a permanent inheritance .

When Johann Schoeller von Jülich married Margaretha Huppertz, the daughter of the aforementioned Johann Huppertz, in 1654 , the house came into the possession of the Schoeller family. Johann Schoeller lived there until his death in 1705 and his widow until 1713. From 1713, during his mother's lifetime, the tax lists name his son Nikolaus Schoeller as the owner. He sold it on July 17, 1717 to his nephew Wilhelm, the son of Johann Schoeller from Jülich. Since 1729, Johann Paul Schoeller has appeared in the tax bills, who bought it on February 18, 1733 for 1,000 Reichstaler .

After the death of the widow Johann Paul Schoeller (1774) it came into the possession of her son Heinrich Wilhelm Schoeller, the founder of the fine paper factory Schoellershammer.

According to the Franciscan and historian Jacobus Polius , in 1501 envoys from the St. Stephen chapter from Mainz held a relic of St. Anna, the Annahaupt , stopped in the "Stör" to bring it back to Mainz. Düren women, led by a Klara von Pera, had penetrated the inn and after days of siege had managed to keep the precious relic in Düren.

The building was completely destroyed on November 16, 1944 during an air raid on Düren . The owner at the time, Prym, saved the relief and kept it in his private house. The relief plate with a sturgeon was hung again in the entrance area in 2004 after restoration as a house sign. The house was rebuilt after the Second World War (1953) and is now home to the Cafe Extrablatt , which is a listed building. In 1953 the former officers' mess of the Belgian army was in the house . The building is entered under No. 1/107 in the list of monuments of the city of Düren.
