The corner property was already the seat of the executioner in the 13th century. The building complex consists of two parts. The corner building was built in 1289 and was the executioner's home and workplace. The gable house, which was added in 1412, is said to have been a prison. The building complex was used by the executioner until 1842.

We can get a little creepy for a moment: this is where the medieval executioners, also known as hangmen, lived. This position existed in the city of Stralsund until 1842.

The only one of its kind preserved in the Baltic region is the Scharfrichterhaus in Stralsund's Filterstrasse. It was once the executioner's home. The only one of its kind preserved in the Baltic region is the Scharfrichterhaus in Stralsund's Filterstrasse. It was once the executioner's home. It has been under renovation since 1990. An exact dating and classification of the construction phases has not yet been completed. However, it is assumed that the building was built in the 13th century, with damage making remodeling and renovation necessary. Private renovation work began in the 1980s.
