Nice example of brick Gothic.
“The house with the postal address Frankenstraße 28 is a listed building on Frankenstraße in Stralsund.
The single-storey, brick gabled house dates from the 14th century. During a renovation between 1974 and 1976, the house, which had previously been changed several times, was largely redesigned in its original form.
A stepped gable with six two-part pointed arch panels rises above the four-axis ground floor. A light window facing the courtyard and above it a gable with five rows of ogival hatches have been preserved. In 1687 a baroque gallery was added to the hall.
Inside the ground floor, which is open to visitors, the original scaffolding of the house, erected on a house tree, and - in the attic - an original elevator wheel are visible. The owner, Josef Wycisk, who had the house renovated with private funds in the 1970s, shows a large collection of bricks in the house.
The house is located in the core area of the city area recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site of the “historic old towns of Stralsund and Wismar”. It is entered in the list of architectural monuments in Stralsund from 1997 with the number 225. "

The gabled house, with its impressive steps, six split blind windows, and pointed-arched hatches, dates back to the 14th century.This type of house served as a merchant's living space, trading building, and storage building.
The spacious hall was used as living space, as well as for presentation and business purposes. The merchant's trade goods were stored in the attic, which he transported to the upper storey using a hoist wheel.In 1687, a Baroque gallery was added to the hall, which can still be seen today.As with all gabled houses of this type, the hall opens onto the courtyard side through a large window – also called a "window." Inside the gabled house, the house tree as a load-bearing element and the original hoist wheel in the attic have been preserved, among other things.ostsee.de/stralsund/altstadt-giebelhaus-frankenstrasse28.php
