The late Gothic farmhouse can be found on the plans drawn by geometer Georg Friedrich Meyer around 1678 for the community of Muttenz. It was built in 1651 (date on the barn archway) with a three-part, late Gothic window on the ground floor. The living area and utilitarian part are under a gable roof with the well-known stranglehold. The protruding part of the roof shows the typical character of the small farmhouse in Muttenz. Underneath one could work in the dry. Also typical is the residential part, where the entrance is missing, which is why it is located in the threshing floor. The entrance to the threshing floor, a feature of the small farmhouse common in Muttenz, probably goes back to the original form of the farmhouse and was probably due to the cramped conditions within the village.
