Patrizierhäuser Am Berge

In this street you can discover two interesting middle-class houses. No.35 is still called Brömse house, named after the Bauherr Dietrich Brömse. The façade of the formerly Gothic building from 1409 was changed numerous times. Above the richly moulded Gothic portal you can see the crests of the Hanseatic cities Lüneburg and Lübeck, where the family came from. On the left and right the crests of Gdansk and Riga are depicted – cities the family traded with.

 

It’s impossible to miss the façade of the Patrician house No. 37, with the richly ornamented Renaissance portal from 1568. It depicts the education and wealth of the builder owner. Left and right of the round arch you can see the family crests of the von Mutzeltins - a flying fish - and the crest of the master salt maker family Töbing: a little mulberry tree. The portal is crowned by depictions of peace and justice.
