Zwerchstrasse 6 (Esslingen)
The house at Zwerchstrasse 6 in Esslingen am Neckar is a building from the 16th century.
history
The half-timbered building was erected in the 16th century as a two-story barn in an area that was mostly gardens and tree meadows, and then belonged to the von Palm family. Today the building is plastered or clad, but both the projections on all sides in the upper floor and the lugs on the eaves sides testify to the half-timbered construction. The roof structure is two-story and shows a leafy construction.
The barn was probably converted into a house in the early 18th century. The gable side was clad with slate around 1900; a renewal in a simplified form took place around 1990.
The house was temporarily owned by the Jewish cattle dealer Otto Lauchheimer (1866–1932). He used a barn and a stable on neighboring properties for his cattle business; the house at Zwerchstrasse 6 was rented. Lauchheimer's widow Rika was deported to Riga on December 1, 1941 , where she was murdered.
