Well, one visit to the archive is definitely not enough... But even in a first short visit I found out quite a lot, I was especially excited to see a list of the previous owners back to 1732.
That means of course, that we are still missing information on the first 150 years after the house was presumably built around 1590 but it is a start!
Here are the owners:
1732: Georg Cuno Hannemüller, Balbierer und Brauer
1769: Christoph Nürnberg
1785: Fr. Relicta(Witwe)Dierbergen
1799/1800: Rel. Dierbergen, modo Dan. Hotopff
1808: Hr. Hotop
Christian Steinbach, Fleischer, 48 J.; Marie Osteroth, 43 J.; Sohn: Christian * 1807
1933: Peters, August, Ackerbürger, Bagmann, Emma, geb. Peters, Witwe
Especially the first one is interesting as it says that he was a brewer and a barber. As the cellar in our house used to be a brewing cellar we can be quite sure that in the 18th century, beer was brewed directly in our house. Moreover rumour goes, that Georg Cuno Hannemüller's wife has gone mad after his death and that they had to get her out of the house by force. Quite spooky...
And this is how he might have looked like, doing his work as a barber. Well, not exactly him as this in an illustration of 1568, but anyway:
More history as soon as I make it to the archive again! I really want to try and find out more on the people listed above.
