Tips

The wedding house was the second stone building on the market square and forms a trilogy with the town hall and the wine house. The floors of the three-story building are separated by strong, continuous cornices. The windows are grouped into groups of two or three openings. The gable windows are divided into high rectangular fields by pilasters. The Renaissance building, built according to plans by the master builder Hans Meurer, abuts the market square with its two-story corner bay window. This bay window, decorated with two coats of arms, serves as an eye-catcher because the decorative gables with curved profiles and the shell at the top face the side streets. The walls of the upper floors are unadorned, only the portals are richly decorated with pilasters and flat triangular gables. The upper floors are accessible via a stone spiral staircase. The outside of the building was plastered again during the renovation in 1976.

This bay window, decorated with two coats of arms, serves as an eye-catcher, as the decorative gables with curved profiles and the shell as the upper end face the side streets. The walls of the upper floors are unadorned, only the portals are richly decorated with pilasters and flat triangular gables. The upper floors can be reached via a stone spiral staircase. The building was externally plastered again during the renovation in 1976.

Use

The building was built as a festival and dance hall in times of an emancipating middle class, but it also served other purposes, such as the reception of citizens, master craftsman examinations, elections and weddings, so that the name wedding house prevailed for the building. Catering took place in the wine house. The ground floor initially served the butchers as a meat screen.

During the Thirty Years' War and the Seven Years' War, the building was used by the troops of Christian of Brunswick in 1622, among others, to house troops. Other armies also housed in the building and caused damage that had to be repaired by the city. In 1761 it served as an English military hospital, and in 1791 during the Napoleonic War it was occupied by the French.
