1. Goethestraße Nō 32 Marker
1697 wurde das Haus als zweigeschossiges traufseitiges Bürgerhaus mit Zwerchhaus erbaut. Sein erster Besitzer war Stephan Michael Hollenberger. Später ging das Haus an die Hugenottenfamilie Puy über. Bis 1973 war durchgängig eine Bäckerei im Haus. Bemerkenswert ist die Seilwinde am Zwerchhaus für Lasten. Das Haus hat einen Innenhof und ein Hintergebäude. Das im Stadtmuseum hängende Ölgemälde von Johann Simon Piehlmann zeigt die Puy’sche Bäckerei anlässlich der großen Hungersnot im Jahr 1771, der 1552 Menschen zum Opfer fielen. In den Jahren 1989–1990 wurde das Gebäude saniert und modernisiert. Die alte Fassade ist erhalten geblieben. Das Haus steht als Einzeldenkmal unter Denkmalschutz.
In 1697, the house was built as a two-story, eaves-side town house with a gabled dormer (Zwerchhaus). Its first owner was Stephan Michael Hollenberger. Later the house passed to the Huguenot family Puy. Until 1973, a bakery operated continuously in the house. Noteworthy is the hoisting winch on the gabled dormer, used for lifting loads. The house has an inner courtyard and a rear building. The oil painting by Johann Simon Piehlmann hanging in the city museum shows the Puy bakery during the great famine of 1771, which claimed the lives of 1,552 people. In 1989–1990, the building was renovated and modernized. The old façade has been preserved. The house is listed as an individual historic monument.
