Zinnhaus Parchim

The half-timbered building was built after a devastating fire in 1612 by Jürgen Clausen, the then town speaker and provost of St. Mary's Church. He likely also used the building as a pewter foundry, which gave the building its name. The year 1612 is visible on the gable. In 1750, Johann Caspar Wage, a pewterer and town speaker in his own right, acquired the building. In 1780, Jakob Christian Fanter, a great-uncle of Fritz Reuter, became owner of the building. Around 1800, after another change of ownership, the building was redesigned in the Neoclassical style. The appearance of the street gable with its colorful facade and the frame of the front door, windows, and loading hatches were created during this period.After years of decay, the completely dilapidated building was vacated in 1993. Since 1999, WOBAU Parchim, the municipal housing company, has owned the building. A comprehensive renovation in accordance with historic preservation standards began. In addition to the colorfully decorated gable, the winch wheel in the roof truss, the oak-beamed ceilings, and the large vaulted ceiling with a water shaft are worth seeing. The building houses a restaurant and the contact and information center for volunteer work – ZiP Together in Parchim. From July to September, the city museum uses the upper floors for special exhibitions in a summer museum.Source:

After a devastating fire in 1612, the house was rebuilt by Jürgen Clausen, the then town speaker and provost of St. Mary's Church.In 1750, Johann Caspar Wage acquired it and, as town speaker and pewter caster, helped the house flourish again. Through marriage, it then passed to the merchant Jakob Christian Fanter (great-uncle of Fritz Reuter) in 1780.A turbulent history followed. Around 1800, with the change of ownership, the street gable in particular was redesigned in a classicist style, resulting in the frame of the front door, windows and loading hatches, which are visible again today, as well as the color of the facade.In 1993, the house was vacated in a completely desolate state. Since 1999, WOBAU Parchim, as the owner, has been committed to a comprehensive renovation in accordance with historic preservation requirements, in order to make it available for public use in its former glory. Through structural additions and the redesign of the courtyard, it has been adapted to meet today's modern requirements.zinnhaus-parchim.de/geschichte.html
