The Galecki house, which consists of half-timbering up to the basement ceiling, is a common, bourgeois, urban house of that time. However, the house is not dated from 1617, as noted on the façade, but according to dentrochronological investigations, the house is dated 1750.

It was said at the time that this house was the oldest in Otterberg. Surrounding houses, like this one, bear old writings. From an architectural point of view, it's amazing how it all went back then and how long such a house can stand and still be habitable. If I'm not mistaken, there used to be a carpenter's shop that then moved across the street... I'm not sure, I was very young then.
