Brotlaube

ursprünglich erbaut 1660, mit der alten Fachwerkfassade 1977 neu errichtet

Im Erdgeschoss war bis zur Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts ein Verkaufsraum für die Schorndorfer Bäcker untergebracht. Der linke Gebäudeteil wurde danach von der Stadt zur Aufbewahrung von Löschgeräten genutzt, im rechten war ein Durchgang zur sich dahinter befindenden Gasse. 1977 wurde das Haus abgerissen und neu aufgebaut. Die ehemalige Fassade mit Schnitzereien blieb erhalten.

(English translation:)

Bread Stalls

Originally built in 1660, rebuilt with the old half-timbered facade in 1977.

The ground floor housed a sales room for Schorndorf bakers until the middle of the 18th century. The left part of the building was then used by the city to store firefighting equipment, and the right part was a passage to the alley behind it. In 1977 the building was demolished and rebuilt. The original facade with carvings was preserved.
 
Erected by Stadt Schorndorf.
