    story



    In 1607 the woad trader and beer brewer Paul Ziegler had an attractive residential and commercial building built in line with the taste of the late Renaissance on a medieval cellar. The name “To the small and large stockfish” appeared in the previous building. Stockfish - dried sea fish - were a sought-after long-distance trade in the Middle Ages and early modern times. The design effort made the "Stockfisch House" an important secular architectural monument in Thuringia. Source: erfurt.de/ef/de/erleben/kunst/museen/108335.html

      The historic building was started in 1607 in the Renaissance style. The interior work lasted until the 18th century, so it was designed in the Baroque style.

        The cellars of the house date back to the 15th century. The house sign is located within the decorative gable above the actual door, which has been preserved in its entirety, including the equally richly designed door knocker from the construction period. It depicts a fish that cannot be assigned to any species on the water in front of a fantasy landscape, including the inscription "DAS HAVS STANDS IN GOTTES HAND ZVM STOCKFISH IST GENAND".
