The slightly recessed farmhouse is in an important location because it closes off the lower part of Burggasse as a street space. Its transverse position makes it appear as a head building. This position is also emphasized by the village fountain in front of the building. According to the date on the arched barn door, the house was built in 1685, but we can gather from the plan of the village drawn by geometer Georg Friedrich Meyer around 1678 that there was a building on this site beforehand. This previous building had the same position, but the Breitestrasse did not yet exist at that time. The farmhouse, built towards the end of the 17th century, consists of a living and a working area, both of which are combined under a continuous gable roof.
