    The freestanding half-timbered ensemble "Am Münster 32/33" was built in the years 1485-1500. In 1500 the pilgrims' hostel of the monastery was extended by the hospital "St. Spiritus".
    Holy Spirit Hospital or Holy Spirit Hospital (Latin St. Spiritus) is the name of a number of charitable hospital foundations (mostly for health or elderly care) especially of the Middle Ages, modeled after Santo Spirito in Sassia in Rome. (Source: wikipedia.de) Thus, the next St. Spirit is already in Einbeck.
    Today, the building houses the Northeim Museum of Local History and a pharmacy.

      ​The former "St. Spiritus" hospital is undoubtedly one of them
      most important Gothic half-timbered buildings in Lower Saxony. Through
      its free terrain position takes it a special position among the
      Northeim half-timbered houses. That in the original condition
      The half-timbered structure that has been preserved gives the impression of stately size.
      The effect of the building is based on the unity of the mighty
      building, which is effective due to its protruding upper floors
      is staggered.
      ​​​The "St. Spiritus" hospital originally served to accommodate pilgrims and
      eisenden, who, even if they were not ill, had quarters for a few nights
      was granted. In 1525 the house came into the possession of the city. Served since
      it as a retirement home and has housed the "St. Spiritus" pharmacy since 1951.

        My medicine chest: D. It blends in wonderfully with the cityscape of many old half-timbered houses. In the back of the building, on the east side, there is also a small museum about the city of Northeim.
