Spätbarockes Bürgerhaus / Late Baroque Patrician House
Der ursprünglich unverputzte Baukörper wird durch einen umlaufenden Sandsteinfries und Pilaster gegliedert.
Die dreiseitige Sandsteintreppe führt zum korbbogigen Eingangsportal mit zweiflügeliger Haustüre.
Neben den Beschlägen aus Messing fallen die mit aufwändigem Schnitzwerk verzierten Türfüllungen ins Auge.
Diagonale Linien, Blattmuster und Rosetten wechseln sich in den rechteckigen Feldern ab.
Im Oberlicht des Portals befinden sich zwischen schmiedeeisernen Ovalringen zwei stehende Löwen, eine Krone haltend.
Den Schlussstein zieren, neben einer Blütenrosette, die Initialen des Erbauers und das Baujahr des Hauses.
Unter dem Mittelfenster im Obergeschoss finden sich in einem girlandengeschmückten Medaillon zwischen den Buchstaben NW 1801 das Zunft- oder Steinmetz- zeichen über einem Herz als Hausmarke.
Um 1870 war dieses Gebäude im Besitz des Kolonial- warenhändlers Johann Paul.
1898 erweiterte es Lazarus Gutmann mit einer Drogerie.
1985

This stately and representative corner house with a mansard roof was built in 1801 by Nikolaus Walz. In 1898, the gable roof was added.
The originally unplastered structure is divided by a surrounding sandstone frieze and pilaster.
The three-sided sandstone staircase leads to the arched entrance portal with double-winged front door.
In addition to brass fittings, the door panels are decorated with elaborate carving.
Diagonal lines, leaf patterns and rosettes alternate in rectangular fields.
In the skylight between wrought-iron oval rings of the portal are two standing lions holding a crown.
Next to a rosette, the keystone adorns the initials of the builder and the year of construction of the house.
Below the center window on the upper floor, in a garland-adorned medallion between the letters NW 1801, there is the guild or stonemason symbol over a heart as a private sign.
Around 1870 this building was owned by the colonial merchant Johann Paul.
In 1898 Lazarus Gutmann extended it with a drugstore.
In 1985 the general store of the Kohles siblings and the cobbler workshop of Otto Bille were closed. (Marker Number 1b.)
